Retching, chills after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I had sugery yesterday, and I am retching several times a day. Nothing comes out, but it is very painful. I usually have it after taking any kind of medication. My stomach is also doing a lot of spasming in the form of hiccup-like jumps, also painful. Is that normal?

I am also FREEZING COLD. The heat is on and my husband is sweating it out, and I'm wearing several layers and a hat, and shaking.

Did anyone else experience this?

@@mnmlst Do you have a temperature? I don't know if that's normal or not for this surgery but the nurse in me wants to check your temp and call your Dr!

If you're having problems on certain meds, they might be able to change them. Any kind of scrunching of our tummy's right now is going to hurt. That includes getting up and down and the wretching as well. Have you asked about changes in meds? Maybe you need something stronger? I didn't feel cold until I was home. They kept my hospital room so warm and I actually got too warm and asked them to turn it down. Now that I'm home, I am more chilly than I was before surgery. I promise each day gets better! Hang in there!

Yes, I did have a low grade fever, but it's gone now. I called my surgeon and talked to him. Feeling much better now. It's amazing how a few hours can make a difference.

Each person is different, but anesthesia makes me really hot after surgery. It could just be your body reacting to that or the medications they have you on.

I didn't have spasms in my stomach, but a friend did and they put her on an antispasmodic to stop them.

Hope you heal quick!

Welcome to the losers bench!

I dry heaved for a few days and then it stopped. The first night home I spit up a little blood when I was dry heaving. So nasty! Feel better!!

      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.

      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...
