How Nauseas Were You The First 2 Weeks?

My dr says it will be horrible nausea for 2 weeks. He is giving me the patch to put behind my ear. Surgery is Tuesday. What can I expect, nausea-wise?

I had mine on 4/4 and have not been nauseau at all. go in thinking positive. good luck

I was extremely nauseous but didn't vomit- just felt terrible for two weeks- on my third week now and still get that feeling when I eat too fast.

I only had it for about 24-36 hours. I heard this is one of the biggest complaints after surgery. I didn't have it long, nor did I have the painful gas. Everyone's body reacts differently. Good luck to you!!

I don't know why your doctor would say that. I never had any nausea at all. Your doctor can give you something for it anyway even if you don't have it that prevents it. Some may have it as a reaction to anesthetic. i think it's strage that he said you would have it, and wonder what he is basing it on.

My doc gave me the "patch" to put behind my ear for surgery and wrote me a Rx for 2 for when I got out of the hospital. He also wrote a Rx for Zofran (anti-nausea med). I was only nauseous like 6 days post op.

I had nausea for about 36 hours... But i always do after surgery the sleep meds make me sick. After that only a couple of times was i feeling sick. Just remember to take it slow and easy when drinking don't get in a hurry. I am 6 weeks out and sometimes I start to drink and have a big swallow in my mouth and remember .... i cant do this all at once...lol .. just got to slow down and focus.

My best friend has been an amazing nurse for me the past 11 days. She said she was recording my med, liquid, and protein intake and she realized my lortab was making me nauseas. I quit taking it and she was right.

I only had a quesy feeling once in the hospital and last night, but it only last a little while. Thank god it's not been bad. I prayed so hard that I wouldn't get sick and god answered my prayer.

I was only a bit queasy. I had something in my IV after surgery, but nothing when I went home.

I'm a little over 2 weeks out and have not had any nausea at all.

I was nauseas right after surgery and the shots and pills they gave me did nothing. I was nauseas constantly for a few weeks and generally felt crappy for 2 months, then it went away.

It was tough but a SMALL SMALL price to pay for the results.

This surgery saved AND transformed my life.

Glad to know that Root! I'm 4 weeks post and still nauseated and crappy feeling! I pray it goes away soon. This is nooo fun!

Zero nausea for me. I was prescribed the patch to put behind my ear, but I had to take it off the day after surgery because it was causing a rash.
