Just had surgery today! :)



Recommended Posts

I'm extremely excited for this next chapter in my life! However today after surgery I had doubts and regretted doing it only because I was in so much pain! I don't do well with anesthesia...it makes me extremely nauseas! And had pains in my chest from surgery. I told my nurse I would rather have another c section than go through this!

The pain meds help a little but that zofran has not kicked in at all! I tried sipping a little but it just makes me want to throw up!

Anyone ever have extreme nausea problems?

I did not want to puke/jeopardize my inicision line of the new stomach. Phenergan is stronger. Bad for IV tho. Compazine if they have it. Scopalamine patch the anesthetist gave me prior to surgery.

Yes. Vomiting was my worst fear. Didn't want to jeopardize my staple line. Ask for Phenergan, Compazine or 'scope'/scopalamine patch are stronger. Stay strong. Welcome to the rest & best of your life!

I had the nausea patch and zolfran. I did well on both.

The 48 hours in hospital seemed like hell.... It gets better!!!

I threw up several times a day for the first 5 days out of surgery. It was so painful and they tried many drugs to make it stop and finally found one that helped and I was then able to go home finally

Thanks everyone! They had me on Norco (hydrocodone-acetometaphine) and that was the culprit. Most pain meds make you nauseas and even cause vomiting but since I've stopped taking them I haven't had a problem!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
