Q: Nausea/vomiting 5 Yrs After Rny Gastric Bypass Surgery

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?

Nausea/vomiting After Gastric Bypass Surgery
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!
