I'm not familiar with the Forrester name, but we've only lived here for 10 years - are originally from New England.<br /><br />JeanJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061037789190055324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554342973151004146.post-80241625932640015492009-06-15T10:58:11.828-05:002009-06-15T10:58:11.828-05:00Hi Jean,

I'm sure with almost<br />2 yr. post-op, you've learned a lot.<br />I didn't see until after I sent the<br />first post that you are from Union City. I live in Memphis. My mom had a cousin that lived in Union City.....Hazel Forrester. I think later in her life she went to live with her son, Bobby and his wife, Joy, in Troy. We have a little house up at Big Sandy on KY Lake.<br />We have my mom's family reunion there on 7/4, and Bobby and Joy always come to that.<br />Small world, huh?<br />Diannedcc121https://www.blogger.com/profile/10532474594919738730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554342973151004146.post-55313534365311464302009-06-15T07:06:38.475-05:002009-06-15T07:06:38.475-05:00Your general health as well as your age can influe...Your general health as well as your age can influence your response to something as major as weight loss surgery. Nausea is a common reaction to general anesthesia but at 2 weeks post-op that shouldn't be a factor. You probably still have some swelling and irritation from the surgery which is suppressing your appetite. My guess is that you're not drinking enough liquid and have become dehydrated, which can be serious, so give your surgeon's office a call. They don't have to be specialists in caring for older people to know how to deal with this. At the very least they can prescribe some anti-nausea meds. Hope you feel better soon.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061037789190055324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554342973151004146.post-15742900659815184592009-06-14T16:48:46.757-05:002009-06-14T16:48:46.757-05:00Hi Jean,

After having some problems the first week, I asked my dr's assistant if they usually dealt with patients as old as I am, and they do not.<br />I am 66. I really believe that some of my problems have been related to age and to a life time of bad eating. Right now I have been nauseous off and on for the last 4 days......not sure why. I'm not eating much and not drinking enough just because when you're nauseous you just don't want to put<br />anything in there. I haven't been hungry and haven't wanted anything<br />and nothing tastes good except a popsicle. Any advice??<br />Diannedcc121https://www.blogger.com/profile/10532474594919738730noreply@blogger.com
