I'm 6 days post op and I'm still having spells of nausea. I'm going back to work tomorrow, I hope the nausea doesn't cause to many problems. Anyone have any tips or advice for the nausea?

Are you still on pain meds?

The last time I took pain meds was last night before bed

I'm 3 days post op and still getting nauseas but I think it's the pain meds. Have you had your first post op check with your doc?

Did your doctor give you anti-nausea meds? If not, it might be a good idea to have him call in a prescription.

Check with your Doctor it's normally the pain meds but you can also get anti-nausea meds if necessary like phenergan

I am 5 days post op and the nausea started today and its pretty bad. I stopped the pain meds and the doc even has me on meds for the nausea. I actually think its air caught in my stomach that can't get out. Please tell me this gets better.

Thanks guys, I have phenergan but it completely knocks me out, and I'm headed back to work this morning so hopefully I do okay today!

I had such bad nausea and I attributed it to the pain meds, same thing happened with my gall bladder surgery so they put me on something different....well didn't work again. I stopped taking my pain meds day 2 believe it or not and also had the fluid taken out of the band - instantly felt better. Good luck.
