:help: I had my surgery 4 days ago and things seem to be going great, but I have been getting nauseated in the evenings. I have been strictly on liquids and I have a feeling that it could be my pain meds. I called my doc and he gave me suppositories (sp) and that has been a true joy! lol. My main concern is if when I am wretching with nothing coming up if my band is going to slip. I am so scared! Anyone who can respond who has been thru similar thing would be greatly appreciated! Any tips to prevent the nausea would be welcomed as well! Thanks so much!!

I've heard Ginger Tea is good for nausea. I got some just in case but haven't needed it. What about good ol' Pepto Bismol?

I was very nauseous for about 4 days and could barely tolerate water but I did not heave at all. I just refrained from anything other than water.

Jennifer - Are you better now? If you're taking hydrocodone or vicodin that definitely can make you nauseous.

I feel much better now, thanks for asking...I do believe it was the liquid pain meds. (Oxycodone) I haven't taken any for 2 days now and have not had one bout of nausea! Yeah...I was getting worried! The pain hasn't been that bad either. The port incision is the only one that gives me a bit of a problem. Thanks for the advice!!

I'm six days post op and doing well with my recovery, but then my son and DIL come over when they haven't been feeling well from the stomach flu! I'm now worried about having to deal with that and running to the doctor for an antinausea shot or something. What a pain!

I experience extreme nausea about 4 days post op and ended up having to get a prescription for anti nausea medication. It worked a treat and I was able to stop taking it after 48 hours. I think it's a side effect of having the stomach interfered with during the surgery.

Jennifer,

Glad you are feeling better! It was definitely the pain meds. I felt awful for the one day I took meds. Since then I've been taking children's tylenol (when needed) and feel great!
