Summary
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an emerging treatment modality among the various
types of surgical approach to obesity (1). The incidence of PONV in obese patients undergoing
bariatric surgery, who did not receive antiemetic prophylaxis, is high at nearly 70-80 %
(2,3). Postoperatively, bariatric patients appear to suffer from nausea and vomiting more
frequently than normal weight or obese patients.
