Please calm my worst fear!

Happy Thursday! I saw the surgeon today and will likely be on the books for March 5! Woo hoo!  

My worst fear about this surgery is to end up having indefinite nausea and dizziness. I absolutely hate that first trimester of pregnancy feeling. If it is for awhile, I can handle it, but I don't want to live feeling icky for years!  My surgeon obviously said he can't predict how everyone will react. 

Thanks for your responses!

yay another surgery buddy!!! I'm having VSG on March 10th! We will get through it all!!! 

I was queasy for the first day or two, mostly because I hurt so much and opiate pain meds don't do squat for me. (I ended up doing the whole recovery on advil because I'm "special," apparently, go figure!) Once I got home, got some fluids in me, and got some rest, I was just fine. I felt kind of weak and tired for a few weeks, but no nausea or dizzyness.

 

Ginger, you and me both. My surgery is next wednesday and i told the doctor that i can take pain but hurling was a hellllll nooo. I absolutely hate to vomit and don't know what I'd do if that was a constant thing

I just got sleeved on 2/4. The nausea wasn't that bad. I pit an anti nausea patch behind my ear and took a powerful anti nausea med, both 3 hours before my surgery and both prescribed by my doc. The pill is used mainly for chemo patients to control nausea and lasts about a week. I had mild nausea first day out and now I dont have it at all.I thought it would be much worse but it's not that bad. Good luck!

Lucky! I was sleeved on 2/4 also and I am miserable!

Why are you miserable? Pain or nausea or both?

I had no problems with recovery. No dizziness and only one day of nausea. I feel great. Hopefully the same will happen for you. Focus on how much fun life is going to be. It is awesome.

My experience was moderate pain in one location (biggest incision).  Absolutely NOTHING compared to early pregnancy.  I did not experience nausea, vomiting, or dizziness.  I was tired but like I said, nothing like early pregnancy.  Not even close.  I hope the best for you!

I was sleeved on 1/27 and had some mild nausea at times in the hospital. The iv zofran worked great. One time I had the dry heaves for a minute,  But it quickly passed. No nausea after the second day for me. No nausea since I've been home!  In fact,  I'm feeling pretty damn good!
