So I had surgery on Thursday. It was longer than they thought due to scar tissue. By over double. I can't keep a sip of Water down. I have had every conceivable nausea and heartburn med. Nothing is working. Still on an IV. Does this happen to anyone else? How was it resolved? Any words please would help!!

I had nausea in the hospital and wish someone told me about peppermint tea or just smelling peppermint essential oil. When I got home I still felt the nausea all the time but once I found out about this I was much better. I actually bought a nausea blend that was sold at the hospital store about 2 weeks after post op. Good luck. Hope it gets better for you.

Have you tried omeprazole-sodium bicarbonate? It's not so much of an antacid as it is as an stomach acid inhibitor -- it reduces the overall production of it. Taste terrible - like chalky coconut Water, but it's one swig of the mixture a day and I've had zero nausea or vomitting.
