Summary

Bariatric surgery remains the most effective therapy for obesity. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are commonly reported following bariatric surgery. The proposed study focuses on the most common bariatric procedure performed, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and aims to assess the effect of a post-operative nausea and vomiting-specific intervention. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention group will experience a reduction of nausea-related prolonged hospital stay and significantly improve patient-reported quality of recovery from surgery and quality of life.
