I'm on day three post op and nausea is whipping me!! Any ideas on how long this normally lasts ? I think I could deal with pain better than this. Ugh

Some people say the pain meds cause it, are you taking any? They also say that you should be taking something for reflux. I'm still pre op until March 18th.

I do not want to discourage you or be a downer by any means so I am telling you this so you will have hope.....I am 8 weeks post op. I spent first 7 weekd sick with nausea...I took my nausea med and my prilosec. I even ended up in hospital with dehydration. I literally thought I had died...made biggest mistake of my life....cried daily....EVERYONE kept saying it gets better...I had so many doubts. My doc finally put me on a steroid to reduce swelling and helps with nausea. I dont know if it was that or my body finally healed but I have had 9 straight days feeling awesome....nausea gone!!! Again please dont think you are destined for 7 weeks of hell as I called it but just know I promise....IT DOES GET BETTER!!!! Hang in there.....

I know exactly what you are talking about I had surgery on jan 28 and have been miserable every since, I am currently in the hospital for dehydration and I'm getting so depressed I'm praying the docs will come up with something soon to help with the throwing up. I need to feel better ;-(
