Nausea after TIF and Hiatal Hernia Repair

Has anyone experienced Nausea for awhile after acid reflux surgery? If so, how long does it last?

Thanks for the reply stkitt:) The nausea is definitely lessening at 2 weeks post op today, but I still feel "greenish." My doctor prescribed anti nausea meds that took the edge off for the first few days post op and I've been doing as you say in regards to eating, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows when food will taste good again:(

Thank you for your response Tandem:) Did your doctor also have you stay on your PPI (Omeprazole in my case) for 4-6 weeks after the surgery? He claims it's to heal the throat, but I'm scared that I'm gonna be on these meds even after having the surgery! I have also noticed what seems like acid reflux, but he said that it's food trapped at the end of the esophogus because the repair is still swollen and tight so that food sits and comes back up in your throat along with secretions from the throat that are similar to the secretions from your stomach. Did you have to taper off your PPI even though you had the surgery?

Hi Taylor,

Yes. Give it a few more days, maybe a week more and the nausea should go away pretty much. It took that long for me. Hang in there. It gets better. Honest.

I am 6 weeks post op still having nesusa. Please tell me it gets better. Feel like crying

I have meds I take around the clock. I just want to know it gets better. Im drinking protein drinks and bananas

Jeans,

I can't eat bananas, the wrap gets irritated. But that's just me. I can eat popcorn but I swallow too much air and the bloat starts. You are at 6 weeks and it will take a while. I am at 9 months and still get bloat. I have to keep a food journal and remember to avoid items that make me nausea. Sorry, it is trial and error. Everyone is different.

I started feeling better at 8 weeks. I hope that helps.
