I'm having GS in September . I have one question regarding nausea ... are natural ginger drops prohibited? Or should I just ask for Zofran .

How sleepy has eveyune been been after surgery ? I'm a newbie . Just trying to get a feel for all of this .

Thanks in advance !

They automatically gave me zofran. Toward the end of my stay they would ask if I wanted it (I always said yes).

I only had nausea when I tried to drink, either ice chips or ice water. The one time they left it and I drank it room temperature, I didn't get any nausea so experiment with temps if it's bothering you.

I tend to be a sleepy, ready to doze anywhere kind of person, but I slept a lot. I barely remember the day of surgery, just vaguely a visit from the surgeon and possibly from the nurses very late. I did wake up enough to post a few things online, but brief and not that coherent.

The second day I dozed most of the day except when I'd get up to pee and walk about every two hours with periodic check ins online.

Day 3 I tried to doze a little, but knowing I was going home, I was on alert for updates and I actually even turned on the TV for a few minutes. I did take a nap when I got home.

During my time off, I did nap periodically and realized I was definitely feeling more normal when I stopped needing to.

Thank you ?

I'm so nervous , but so excited as well .
