Hi. I had surgery yesterday, March 6, and every time I try to burp or hiccup to pass gass I vomit. I am taking three types of nausea medications, sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't. Any advise?

Ohh, that's too bad. Not a nice feeling at all. Can't you call your clinic and ask them?

Please consult your surgical team. Good luck!

I'm still in the hospital, nurses are all telling me it's normal and keep giving me different nausea medicines to help. I guess I just have to get out all the gas for it to stop. I just had the UGI test and no leaks.

Well they'd know best, after all they see it everyday. Hope you feel better soon. It seems everyone goes through a bit of crappyness, either from the surgery or depression , then after 2 weeks things look up. My friends told me it takes almost 3 months to feel normal, now they are just so used to it!

I threw up for my first 2 days also. I was sleeved on march 2, and I will tell you that it does get easier by about day 4. I was super miserable those first 2 days and now I can sip and not feel like I am dying and the gas pains are less each day. You can do this!!

I had mine Feb 20 and when I got back to my room I started those dry vomiting I thought I was dying but they gave me two types of nausea meds and something like Nexium and that feeling soon passed! Hang in there it gets better! I still hiccup after I eat or drink [emoji484]

My surgery was on March 1st and I only had to stay overnight. I vomited three times right after the doctor said that I could be discharged. Since I had nothing in my stomach, it was more of a dry heave, but it hurt so much. I thought I busted something! The nurses and doctor said it was normal and that everything was ok. I haven't vomited since, but I do get nauseous in the morning if I have protein before having water or if I sit up too fast. I am prescribed a dissolvable tablet every 4-6hours as needed, but I usually only needed it once in the morning.

Thank you everybody for the responses. I'm home now and starting to feel better. Hopefully day 3 or 4 will be much better.

I had surgery yesterday too. Immediately waking up I started vomitting and dry heaving. I was hoping to go home today but I keep getting nauseous after drinking so they're keeping me another night. I'm hoping it subsides by tomorrow

Feel better soon!

Sleeved 3/1, I threw 1 day after surgery. They gave me anti-nausea medicine which helped. I hope you feel better soon.

I had surgery 2/28 and I had to stay two nights because I felt so awful. They were giving me so many fluids and no naseau medicine was working. The liquid pain medicine made me throw up every time, and any bite of food I tried to get down.

Finally once minute full of dry heaving (felt like 10 minutes) helped get all the gas out. I thought I was dieing for those two days, but they final gave me some stronger IV pain medicines and muscle relaxers.

4 days and up I started feeling so much more normal and could keep things down and take liquid pain medicine.

Hope you're feeling better. That extra night in the hospital was a life saver.

Given how regularly everyone vomits and how much I despise throwing up either I'm gonna try to take some Gravol or just get used to it. Given your body likely feels satiated all the time there's really no other trigger showing you're full or that maybe you sipped Water too fast. It's a learning process all over again.

Also this might be news to you if you've never had GERD but hiccups and regurgitating is not vomiting. It's reflux. Are you on meds for this? Maybe try consuming less but more frequently.

Get up and walk around. You need to help the gas move. I had mine on 2/28. I promise it will get better. 4 to 6 oz every 2-3 hours.
