I did not. Everyone is different..... Welcome.....

I am 13 days post-op and I feel great now. I had nausea for 4 days after surgery. I wasn't throwing up, but just constantly had that feeling I needed to. For the 2 days I was in the hospital I was getting nausea medication every 6 hours and finally the doctor ordered something stronger & I think that really helped because I felt much better after that. When I got home I was nauseas for about a day. I think part of my problem was all the drugs being pummped into the IV and nothing on the stomache. But once I got home and got on my liquied diet I felt much better. Don't let this discourage you from the wls. Your doctor can order you something strong to help with the nausea. I hope this helps and does not scare you. LOL

I wasn't nauseated all the time. It came in waves. Throwing up after surgery is totally different than throwing up before surgery...There is no bile in the vomit...so it's just a bit of "bleh." The pain leading up to throwing up still sucks, but I only had that a handful of times.

(worth it)

That is helpful, Melloww1. A few days I can handle as long as I know there's an end in sight. And I'll be sure to remind my surgeon that me and anesthesia don't do well so he'll plan on meds via IV. :)

I'm having my surgery Tuesday but i've read from other peoples posts it varies on each person. You really don't know whats gonna happen. It also seems the dr can help you if your are nausiated.

Love imjj4short's "worth it". :) Thanks everyone.

I am 12 weeks post-op and I have not had a bit of nausea. I actually expected it since there was so much re-arranging of my insides, did have a little gas the first few days but I have not been sick to my stomach once!!! I had the lap band removed and the GB. I threw up all of the time when I had the lap band, ugh!! Everyone is different !! good luck on your journey!

I am 13 days post op and did not have any nausea save for the first day in the hospital. No throwing up just nauseated and it was alleviated by medication. i have been fine since.

Good luck and welcome!

I only got sick hen I ate something I shoulden have or something I shouldnot have ate, but learned what I could and couldent eat and how much, it was a learning prosess, but inot that bad. hang in there.

I am 3 out. I only experienced nausea one day at about a week out. I am pretty strict as to making sure I follow the plan to a T. I haven't had any other problems except that day. Good luck with the surgery and don't let this stop you. Its already the best decision I have made!

Good description of throwing up imjj! Even if you are nauseated, it really is no big deal for most of us to throw up (believe it or not ) after GBS. But, no, you won't feel that way all the time. My doc prescribed me anti-nausea meds so that when I did feel that way I could take care of it rather quickly. After one year out, the only time I'm nauseated is if I eat too much or too quickly (this is a good thing.)

Don't let a little nausea stop you.

Most people don't have a big issue with it and the docs usually are on top of it to keep you comfortible. If you experience it long term then there is something wrong and thats when you become proactive if your docs do not pay attention and fix it..

Never let fear of what could be stop you from doing something you feel is right and healthy for you but be awar also. If you know the possibilitys you can identify them whe/if they should come up. I'm one of the few who does have and has had an issue for 2 yrs and being nauseated and throwing up for this long is a huge deal and alters your life physically and mentally. Remember keep asking questions and you keep doing that and gather all the information you can.
