Could use some help for my Fiance...She had her surgery last night.

[robster 3]

She got hers done by Ponce de Deleon in Mexico. She is currently back at her hotel, resting until her flight home tomorrow, but she can't keep any Water down. She is sipping it slowly and still ends up throwing it up. What can we do?

I found plain Water hard the first few days. I had to have Vitamin water zero or even water with a little grape juice in it. Anything that wasn't plain water. I send my best for a quick recovery!

Contact the nurse / doctor, they should be able to prescribe something for her. Doctors always have on-call answering services. Someone should be able to help. I'm so sorry she's having such a rough time. Is she actually feeling nauseous or just throwing up?

[robster 3]

I'll see if she can get a hold of some.

Thank you so much.

Is she trying cold Water or hot/room temp? My first couple days I couldn't drink anything cold. Hot was best, and room temp was tolerable. Has she tried some broth or tea?

I hope u were able to get a hold of Dr an get something for vomiting. She sure doesn't need to fly an b dehydrated, I had to stay an additional day in hospital I had hernia repair with mine an every sip I took hurt like heck! Felt like a heart attack. I could barely drink. Needed another day of iv fluids. Keep us posted plz I sure hope she's feeling better. .

She was able to get some Gatorade and get that down. She's resting now. I'll tell her to try Water at different temps.

Thank you guys for your suggestions/concerns, really appreciate it.

Hi! I'm 6 days post-op. I want NOTHING to do with liquid unless it's really cold. She could also try chewing some tiny/crushed ice cubes. I had horrible gas pain which made drinking tough for the first 48 hours. Walking and chewable Gas-X seemed to help. Best of luck to both of you.

Hello i would keep fluids at room temp for sure. 1st week thats all i could do. And for sure try other fluids. Water seemed to not sit as well in my tummy in the beginning kinda sloshing now much better at 4wks out. Good luck and safe travels.

hmmm hvnt heard that one. Is she drinking any Protein Drink (juice not milk) ? If not she should. It will be tiny sips for at least a few more days to 1 1/2 weeks

I had no pain and nausea and was in hospital less than 24 hours. I wish everyone could be so lucky! Make sure she has adequate medical care before you leave. Did she have the leak test? Have you talked to the surgeon? I am so sorry to hear this and I know you are afraid, but I read this all the time and in a day or two things turn around 100%. Saying a prayer for her tonight. God Bless.

[robster 3]

You guys are all making me feel a lot less worried. She has her leak test tomorrow along with some other tests before she's clear to come home. I'm hoping that we'll be able to enjoy some broth together soon.

She's a lucky girl, and I hope she turns the corner soon. Good job taking care of her.

I'm 8 weeks post-op, everything went really well, and I still have issues with plain Water. Something about the surface tension and needing an additive of some kind - so Crystal Light, True Lemon/Lime, and trying broth might help her now. I didn't have issues with temps much but in the early days, warm was most most welcome!

I was like that for 72 hours then No problems and I was fine. Give body a chance to heal a bit.
