Had Roux-en-Y in August 2020. Have had severe nausea & vomiting since. Have had n/v issue since 2007 when I was hospitalized for dehydration & the n/v never resolved & has been much worse since my surgery. I take Zofran 8 mg 2-4 times a day. It was 4 mg 4 times a day prior to the surgery.
I also have debilitating fatigue. On blood thinners for atrial fib & am having a Watchman procedure 7.12.23 & the blood thinners will be discontinued.
I dont know if the extreme fatigue is related to the gastric surgery or the blood thinner medication. Or if they're related at all. I need sleep more than anything though.
Since my gastric bypass I have developed gastric paresis. That explains some of the n/v. The diet w/the gastric paresis is very difficult to reconcile w/a post gastric bypass surgery diet. For instance, the dietitian told me that the Cheezits & potato chips which seem to go down easy are ok. It seems that anything w/o nutritional value goes down easily. I had to give up my daily salads which about killed me bc I love salads. Before surgery, you never would have guessed that salad was an everyday staple of my diet but it was. People don't associate salads & fat people at all. They just assume you're shoveling sweets & fats down your throat. I can eat a meal one day but the next, can only be a bite or two & cannot eat it for that moment. It's been very difficult finding what works & what doesn't bc it's ok one day but not the next.

Hi I'm earlene. I'm getting gastric bypass in a month. I am nervous about it and excited. I hear things like , you shouldn't do that and they say scary things, others are happy. Then I worry in to old to do it. I just want to hear from others
Thanks
