's Uncontrolled Nausea

you MUST MUST MUST begin taking an anti-emetic!! You will land

right back in Mount Sinai unless you take something to combat the

nausea. It is the most common side effect of the BPD/DS. I had it

severely for over 3 months---you can't just wait it out, because you

don't know how long you'll be affected by it. Believe me--you'll feel

much more at peace with the surgery once you're not nauseaus and

heaving constantly.

I had to try 3 different antiemetics before I found the one

that worked for me. After Tigan and Reglan I finally got put on

Compazine and that worked like a charm. I had to take 4-5 pills a day

(80mgs-100mgs) during the first 2 months and then it tapered down as

the severity of the nausea decreased in my third month. Try a

different medication...see if that helps.
