Does everyone vomit post-op?

Sorry, I know I post a lot. I'm a stay at home mom and you guys are like the only adult contact I get lol!

But does everyone vomit? Are there ways to prevent it? I have a serious phobia of it, and it is actually the only reason I've ever second guessed wanting this surgery.

  • Thanks! I had zofran when I was pregnant with morning sickness, and I know morphine makes me sick. I'm hoping they can use something other then morphine! I'd rather feel pain then nausea lol

Hey, I am 5 days post op and I havnt even had the first bit of nasua. Thank Goodness! I have done exactly like they told me too and have done very well. The only thing I have felt in my tummy is a bouncy feeling. Sometimes it feels like there are jumping Beans in there.

Just tell everyone: dr, nurses, anisthesia, ect. that you get sick easy and they will make sure they give you the meds to prevent it. I did, and they sent some home with me too.

Hope this eased your mind a little :)

Other than dry heaving a few times for the first 2 days post-op, I've no vomiting or nausea at all. No problems with any food, consistency, etc.

There are tons of options for painkillers. You have to be vocal about your experiences and needs. A good anesthesiologist will ask, but if not you need to TELL them. Take control! I'm sure you can handle that as the mother of 2 boys!!!

I'm getting close to 4 months out and I never threw up after surgery. The only time I came close was the day of surgery when I was recovering in my room and I got a shot for nausea VERY fast because I was being a diva. The next time was 5 weeks out when I ate 1/2 of a creme brulee and slimed so bad (the only time I have) that I thought I was going to lose it.

All of you are very lucky! i throw up a lot no matter how little i eat ( no medical issue just stomach sensitivity) but thankfully it is getting better... GOOOD luck to all of you <3
