Dry heaving

I am 6 weeks post op and no matter What I drink or eat I violently dry heave. Nothing comes up other than mass amounts of saliva. I'm starting to panic that something is horribly wrong despite being readmitted to the hospital last week and having tests done.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

How long did it take for it to go away?

I have anti nausea medication but I avoid taking it cause it makes me dry heave so bad.

Either way I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

i had the same problem. I called it buyers remorse I ended up being constipated. And the doc ordered the GI to look at my pouch. It does get better. Just like gruiz27 said
