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

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!

  • I know its been a few days, but I have been busy with work and trying to take care of her. I am ecstatic because this morning she woke up and everything seemed to be a complete 180. She actually smile

  • 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 togeth

Guess she didn't rest well and is still vomiting/cant keep stuff down. She goes in to see the doctor at 11, so hopefully that goes well and maybe she'll have some nausea medicine or something.

I hope they gave her some anti-nausea meds. My first night in the hospital the pain meds were making me very nauseated and they were able to give me anti-nauseas to keep from throwing up. If they haven't offered, maybe ask for some? I hope she turns the corner soon!

I know its been a few days, but I have been busy with work and trying to take care of her. I am ecstatic because this morning she woke up and everything seemed to be a complete 180. She actually smiled today, and I hadn't seen a real one of those since her surgery. She hasn't thrown up in 2 days and she's been sipping on water/broth/sugar-free juice all day to stay hydrated. I think we're on the home stretch, just wanted to update everyone and thank you all for your help and support. Definitely not my last post here. Also, I have her taking a prevacid daily, that's okay, right? She's craving solid foods already.l, which I think is the only hard part now.

Robster, this sounds great. Any surgery is scary. It is downhill now. Smile! I am on Prilosec for the rest of my life. Give her broth and popsicles and according to her doctor's plan. Tell her I said hugs, and get moving, walk as much as possible. I drove in 2 days and shopped 5 days later at the mall. I am loving my life at 68! God Bless you both on this journey. Linda

I am glad to hear she's feeling an doing better!! Everyone reacts different. I take nexium daily. She will no when she needs to rest. I'm 7. Wks out an still pace myself. I'm glad to hear ur her rock! I have a rock also...your doin great!! :)

The Prevacid is fine. My surgeon prescribed me Prevacid for 3 months after surgery. If over the counter doesn't seem to work, have her ask her PCP for the prescription strength. Glad she's doing better!
