What Causes Severe Nausea After A Gastric Bypass Surgery In A Diabetic Patient?

My daughter is 37. Had gastric bypass 10 months ago. Has been hospitalized 4 times. She has been in again for 4 days. Her iron levels very low and has been getting iron infusions for 3 days. Eventually they are considering hysterectomy but can t right now. The problem is they having trouble controlling nausea. Also gave her antibiotics . did MRI, no bleeding. She is type 1 diabetic with insulin pump. The reason for surgery was she had also become type 2 diabetic and was on so much insulin. The surgery was a success on type 2. As a child she had motion sickness. One of her ear canals would not expelled wax normally and Dr would have to extract. I know this is a long shot but could inner ear wax be part of this. They want to call in a gastro specialist and i mthinking inner ear. Both her children have motion sickness when traveling. My daughter thinks this is foolish and not a possibility
