Feeling like I need to vomit post nissen.

I had the Nissen surgery in July. I've had some ups and downs, but each month is better than the last. In August-September my biggest problem was nausea after I ate. It lasted for weeks. I went back to a very basic diet and it helped, not sure if it just pasted or if the diet helped. I have been on the same diet scared to jinx anything.

On Thursday and today I have had stomach upset, hurting. Followed by the feeling that I need to vomit. My mouth waters, I feel lightheaded, I gag I want to vomit so bad, but nothing happens. I felt bad for a few hours Thursday and felt fine Friday morning. No issues until today.

My GI doctor and my surgeon didn't know what to say about the nausea, I'm sure they will be clueless about this as well. They did check my gallbladder and it was okay.

Any suggestions?

+1 what Alice stated. I struggle daily with some nausea, some time its bad, others not so much. I have Zofran. I keep it with me, but seldom need it. when a wave hits, I relax, breath, and it passes. this unfortunately is my new normal. its been over 2 years. this operation, can leave you, with some unpleasant side effects. which can be different, for everybody. but I don't think, many of us walk away clean, my hernia was large, and impacted a lung, and a heart chamber [ fortunately heart is good]. but a byproduct for me, was esophageal spasms. I have to live with. so some good. some not so good. I have triggers I have identified. so I try to be carful. I was scoped, barium swallows. so the cause and effect, I live with. do what you need. and do your best, to endure. good luck. [no easy answers]

I also have nausea constantly - only remember having a few hours without 1 or 2 times (for a couple of hours) over the past couple of years.

Always have Zofran on hand but try not to take it as it constipates me for at least 24 hrs. I always keep at least 2 tablets on me at all times and the entire package if I'll be away from home.

What I do is take candied ginger (aka crystalized ginger) when I have nausea and drink ginger tea a half an hour after dinner. I make up my own candied ginger and ginger tea. In addition, if I'm in a moving vehicle the nausea is pretty bad and I will usually suck on honey hard candies continuously while in the vehicle which helps.

Thanks for the help. I'm still fairly miserable. It's not every day, but 2-4 days a week I have a day where I can't eat anything. It's went from just feeling nauseous to having full belly ache for hours. My mouth waters up, I feel like I'm going to vomit, but all I do is get a very small burp up. Yesterday I felt bad all day. I finally went to bed at 8 just to escape the pain. It hurts so bad. I woke up this morning feeling okay. I ate a small breakfast and I can feel the bell upset coming. Zofran, Fenergen, Pepcid, PPI's, or gas meds does nothing for the pain.

My family wants to me to have the surgery undone. I don't know what to do. I'm trying to be patient.
