staple line and dry heaves



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery yesterday....so far so good other than some bout with nausea which suck! A few minutes ago I dry heaved 3 times and am terrified that I could have damaged the staple line....having your stomach spasm and contract can't be good for it

Nausea comes with no prior warning....one minute I'm fine and next I am trying to grab the puke bowl. Only drinking Water and broth so its, luckily not too gross

I violently vomited for 5 days no stop after the surgery and didn't do any damage. Let your surgeon know if you aren't at the hospital still , but I think you should be fine

I had issues with the pain meds right after surgery. I dry heaved for hours and then puked up blood. It scared the crap out of me.....I was fine. :)

I was on a constant dose of Zofran the first few days after surgery and then needed it in the mornings a few more days. There's also a patch called Scopolamine that helps a lot too. Call your doc, they DO NOT want you heaving at all.

Thanks yall! I'm still the hospital and saw my surgeon right after it happened, he didn't seem very concerned but wanted me to stay another night just in case...had a lot of drugs and haven't had another incident.

The heaves hurt bad! Scared the bejesus out of me! While I wouldn't wish nausea on anyone, I've got to say it's comforting to know I'm not the only one

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
