I had my surgery Friday but I still can't drink anything . When I do I just gag. I am extremely nauseated and full of gas. Any recommendations? What can I take for nausea?

You really need to get in touch with your team. I hope you feel better soon!!

Did you surgeon give you any prescriptions for acid reflux and nausea? I was very fortunate to not have nausea once I was home but in the hospital I was given Zofran for nausea. I was also given Prevacid for one month post op.

Call yor surgeon's office, tell the answering service you need a call from the surgeon or on call doctor. You can probably get a prescription called into your pharmacy today.

to get rid of the gas do some walking it really does help. IF they did not send you home with any medication to help you, you should get in touch with your doc. once you get that taken care of just hang in there it really does get better and it does not take very long. My first couple of days were a little rough but after that things got better really quickly.

You must sip water or you will end up back in the hospital with dehydration. Flavor the water with drops if necessary. 1 ounce every 15 minutes if that is all you can do. It got much easier quickly for me, but those first two days with no IV to keep myself hydrated were difficult. Walk, walk, walk....even down the driveway and back...got rid of the gas quickly for me. Good luck!

I started my vitamins today and have had quite a bit of nausea from them. I am hoping this gets better.

Make sure you call your Dr ASAP. They should have an after hours number.

Also try different temperatures of fluids. At first, warm was all I could handle. Cold made my stomach cramp up. Thankfully that stopped after a few days.

I was nauseated and contacted the after care nurse. She advised me to add an additional dose of prilosec because she felt that I probably had too much acid in my tummy. Seemed to do the trick. But contact your team. You cannot allow yourself to be dehydrated.
