Nausea

I only had nausea for 3 days post op. It doesn't sound normal to be nauseated all the time. Have you seen a doctor?

Lesley,
My post-op nausea was limited to the first few days plus any time that I had a blockage or occlusion.
Have you checked your hormone levels with your Gyn?
Sometimes it is guts and sometimes it is something else and we tend to forget that the rest of our bodies can go funky on us too...could be gallbladder, liver or female problems ( are you sure that you aren't pregnant?)...I had gallstones that were at the bottom of my nausea...once the gallbladder was out the nausea stopped other than in the mornings at around 10 when I haven't eaten.
My favorite 'cure' for nausea is ice, mint or lemon juice (or all 3 mixed together). They say that ginger helps too.
Hope you find relief

Only time I had nausea was during a blockage and when I had a post-op ileus.

I would make an appointment with your GI doctor and get it checked out.

Good luck

Nausea sometimes signals gastritis, which is treated with anti-acid therapy (Zantac, Prilosec, Maalox, etc.) for a while. It is *sometimes* associated with B12 deficiency.

I suffer from regular nausea. They did tests for gall bladder, ulcer, etc, and found it was gastritis. Guess another lovely "inflammation" issue. I would mention to your GP to get it checked out.

Thanks everyone, I am seeing my gastroenterologist next week. Hopefully it is something simple. I have had a pelvic ultrasound to check for gyno problems, small cyst on my right ovary but its pretty small. Being referred to a gynocologist. I have had nausea in the past that lasted a month on and off, then ended up with an obstruction and emergency surgery. However this has been going on since January. I guess I will need a battery of tests. I have tried an acid inhibitor my gastro doc gave me but it doesn't seem to be helping. It really sucks. I have tried ginger and peppermint but nothing helps.

If it is gastritis, that takes a while to clear up. Are you sure you used the acid inhibitor long enough?

The fact that you've had something like this before could be an important clue, too. I hope you have no need for emergency surgery this time!

Thanks Scott, I probably haven't tried the pump inhibitors long enough but I will continue to use them until I see my doctor. I also did get some B12 patches last week. You put one on every 5 days, so I have used one so far. I also went for a blood test a couple days ago to check my iron and B12 so I look forward to the results. I have been googling a lot to try to figure out what is going on.
Thanks for all help.

Just a quick update, I had 2 scopes done on thursday. No inflammation found in the pouch or in my stomach etc. The doctor took some biopsies and is going to give a prescription for Zofran for nausea. So far he is stumped...
