How long did your nausea last?

Surgery on 6/30 a few bumps but being discharged today. Still battling nausea. How long did yours last? Need some hope here!

Mine only lasted a few days but I still have times (just over 2 months out) that I get nauseous. I keep the Zofran handy just in case. I am on a "regular" diet but it is really trial and error. Hoping that all goes well for you.

Mine lasted for about 9 days post-op. After that, things seemed to settle down. Although, Frankensleeve grumbled with every bite I ate, he stopped being nauseous .

I battled nausea too, and while the Zofran helped, the thing that really worked for me was the SCOPOLAMINE transdermal patch.

I can't fully explain its effectiveness except to say: when I was wearing that patch behind my ear, I felt steady and had no worries that I would vomit!! It was incredible.

It's a motion sickness drug; each patch lasts 3 days. Here is some info: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682509.html

My surgeon said that it was only the second time he's prescribed scopolamine, and his other patient loved it too. He's going to start prescribing it regularly now.

Best wishes to you!!

My nausea only lasted a day or so. Are you taking an anti nausea medication? If it's bad to the point where you can't get fluids in, talk with your doctor. There are many different kinds. Hang in there it will get better.

i am 6 weeks out and still get it now and then, sometimes certain smells trigger it, and i notice i get car sick now...

i have zofram, but ugh it makes it worse for me, a few deep breaths and walking around helps me a lot...

congrats on your surgery!
