My surgery is Monday, and my biggest concern is how I will feel after surgery. I had all my pre-op tests done today and was talking to the nurse and was telling her that I have had surgeries in the past and have never had problems with nausea. She looked at me and said, yes, but you havent had a surgery like this in your stomach, this could be different, dont be surprised if your nauseous, and if you get sick the first couple of days.

This kinda freaked me out because I hate being that kind of sick, and I am sure it would really suck with having your stomach cut on.

So please, all of you that can, what did you feel like right after surgery, please be honest, so I know what to expect and maybe I can prepare myself mentally for it.

Thanks so much......

Lots of people on here have been nauseous following this surgery and some even vomited in the hospital, but everyone is different. I was nauseous, but only mildly, and the anti-nausea drugs they gave me through my IV worked wonderfully so I never vomited.

With pain meds i was ok. I felt sick only the first night, then by the second night i was out shopping (in mexico, may be different then here). I heard someone in the room next to me throwing up all night after the same surgery... so i think it varies alot, saw her the second day and she kooked better than me...

Thanks for your replies, I am hoping that with the anti nausea meds I will be ok.... Ughhhh

In all honesty, in the recovery room, I felt ok but the gas pains were definitely in my chest. made it difficult to breath in the diaphragm area.

when i got to my room ,breathing was still tough but getting better. felt no nausea, gas pains reached into my neck and i was highly uncomfortable in the bed, sitting up even walking. but out of the three, walking was the best.

i did feel nauseas the next morning from getting up and outta bed to pee so much. "threw up" just phlegm the first couple times.

as i was dressing to get discharged that evening, i guess i had moved so much that when i sat down i immediately had to vomit. this too was phlegm mixed with i guess dry blood from tummy. didn't hurt ever, was quite a relief. threw up again when i came home to take the liquid meds, but from then on, i was fine.

i now only feel nauseas when i take my Vitamins because they consistency is disgusting. hate chewables.

The only time I felt nauseous was the very first time I walked after the surgery - just an hour or two after I got out of the post-op recovery room. I walked about 30 feet and then I was like, WOAH! But that was the only time.

I wasn't nauseous at all the entire time. I usually get sick from anesthesia but they did something magical I swear. Only time I got sick was when I had to drink the nasty blue water and stuff for the leak test. Puked in the car on the way there and in the lab right when I was being xrayd. lol

Just a little bit the first day in the hospital, and the first day home I ate something really bitter (meds) that made me feel like puking, but I did not ever throw up. Really not that bad at all... after three days, I was up and around.

Oh fun lol well that will teach them for making anyone drink anything "blue" lol - Glad you did well after your surgery

I absolutely HATE to vomit. I was sick the 1st night, but because I felt kinda out of it anyways, I didn't really clue into it anyways. Make sure you talk to the doctor and tell them your fears. Maybe they can give it to you as a precausion???

I was not nauseous at all--mostly what I felt was thirsty because all I had was an IV for fluids and my mouth was dry. Truthfully, I was pumped full of anti-nausea and pain meds I slept most of the first two days and by the time I was up and dressed on the third day I felt tired, but otherwise fine.

The only time I felt nausea was when they would give me IV Pepcid....the Pepcid caused my saliva glands to work overtime attempting to drown me...like seriously shooting streams of spit out it was gross. My post surgery stuff was different than what people on here have shared. I had a catheter until late afternoon the next day. I was on a morphine pump for pain and an IV until I was discharged on day 2. So I was "mostly" comfortable. I slept essentially the entire first 24hours after surgery and most of the day after as well. Got up to walk with help 3 times on the day after and was doing 3 and 4 laps by the 2nd day after surgery. I have had no nausea since the Pepcid incidents. I feel good (I'm 12 days out now)

I got very nauseous right out of surgery, but it was a reaction to the anaesthesia. I took anti-nausea medication, which totally took care of any nausea after that.

oh man Michelle, you should have put this in the pre-op to make sure everyone can see it. I know almost everyone has this question, it's a good one!

You sound like me! I just threw up once, and that was on day #2 when my iv had trouble and my bp was high. The only other time was when I ate too much a few days ago. I'll try not to do that again ever! Best of luck to you!

I was nauseous but not in pain! They just kept giving me nauseous meds and I was fine! I never got sick or even came close! (still to this day!! YAY!)
