Has anyone had problems with absorbing their pain meds after surgery? I am 3 years post op gastric bypass and had left total knee replacement 10 days ago. I have been in so much pain and strong meds not working much. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thank you so much.
Kellylessbelly---I was doing well right after surgery. 2 weeks then the n/v started. It continues to date. After being in the hospital for the fifth time and more scans. The Dr finally put a label on it such as gastropersis. Where my pouch is very slow to empty into my sm intestines also empty slowly. Now I wear a scolpolmine patch that helps me get rid of the nausea. The Dr says this will go away in about 3-6 months and my taste should come back in the same amount of time. I had my surgery May 1 st. Good luck. It does get better.
