Thanks for the welcome! I was indeed experiencing nausea before my surgery. My primary care doctor prescribed the PPI for me while we were still trying to figure out the issue. Once gallbladder was identified and removed I stopped taking it thinking my nausea was just because of the gallstones. Unfortunately from the moment I woke up from surgery I continued to be nauseous. On my primary care doctor’s advice I started the PPI again and nausea subsided. She seems to think my stomach is very irritated. After two weeks I stopped PPI because I thought I was recovered but nausea returned. On PPI again and seem to be nausea free. Didn’t know if anyone else had similar experiences. I will be interested to visit with a gastroenterologist but the wait to see him is just so long! Two more weeks to go!
