Nauseous After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I had laproscopic surgery in August (fibroid tumor) and the surgeon gave me something that would stop me from getting nauseous after surgery. Believe it or not, I forgot to use it (you have to put it on the night before) but luckily I didn't have any problems.

It's a patch that you put behind your ear the night before surgery and just leave it there.

The information from the box:

TRANSDERM SCOP PATCH

SCOPOLAMINE HYDROBROMADE 1.5 mg

Each patch is programmed to deliver in vivo approximately 1.0 mg over 3 days.

This is a medication for motion sickness / traveling but my surgeon said that it works well for surgery patients. After reading about the nausea issues I'm definitely going to email Nina and ask if I can use it because the throught of throwing up after that kind of stomach surgery scares the crap out of me!

I am from Kentucky, but had my surgery in Tennessee. They actually had me put one of those Patches behind my ear, before I went into surgery. I am 5 days post op and have yet to have any nausea at all. So I would definitely aske about getting a patch.

With this particular surgery, the nausea is very common and the patch alone may not do the trick. Make sure you ask them to give you anti-nausea meds during the surgery and you can also ask for the patch as well. I had both PLUS numberous other meds including Compazine and nothing really took away the horrible nausea. But I had had chronic nausea for 7 years since my cancer surgery that I took meds for every day. The good news is that I dealt with awful nausea in the hospital for a few days but now I am completely off of ALL nausea med for the first time in 7 years and it is fabulous!

I had a horrible nausea after surgery (October 26, so still a newbie) and doctor prescribed both the patch and lorazapam 1 mg and metoclopramide 10 mg. I only had to take it for few days and nausea is gone.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
