Introduction
Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) represents a serious and vexing problem after bariatric surgery. We hypothesized that liberal administration of IV fluid administration may influence PONV.

Categorical and continuous variables were compared by Chi-Square and T- test respectively with P
