Nausea/vomiting 5 Yrs After Rny Gastric Bypass Surgery Posted: 11-03-07 15:16pm
I am a bit more than 5 years post-op and
have suddenly developed persistent
unexplained nausea with some vomiting that
is unlike previous post-op experience. I
have lost about 20 pounds in 6 or 7 weeks
involuntarily although I am not in the
weightloss phase any longer. I have also
recently (6 months ago) had incisional
hernia repair surgery over the site. A new
large hernia is visible to the left now of
the incision scar. My daily life is
affected... although sometimes I am okay
in the same day I frequently become sick
enough to keep me home. Eating seems to
make the nausea worse. It is not dumping
syndrome with which I am already familiar
with. CAN YOU HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT IS
GOING ON?

I to am a gastric bypass patient and had
mine 4/12/04. since then i have had 16
surgeries. i also have vomiting
continuously as well as left side pain.
Have you checked w/ your doctor that did
the surgery? You may have a bowel
obstruction which would give u the
vomiting and nausea feeling and can make
u very very sick. I take phenergen several
times a day to control the nausea after we
rule out everything else. Definately
consult your surgeon! Good luck!
