Hello everybody, I just had my surgery yesterday around 2:30pm. I could not stop throwing up all day and still throwing up when I have to take meds by mouth. Pain isn't too bad unless I throw up obviously. Did anyone experience the same thing? If so, how long did it last for you until you felt better and was able to drink stuff without it coming back up?,

Hi nellybelly! Congrats first of all. My first day I was throwing up and having dry heaves but they told me it was more likely from anesthesia and pain meds than surgery itself. They gave me nausea medication every 3 hours and when I went home I took it every 4 hours. Did they give you anything for nausea?

I had that starting late on day two and all of day 3. Took me a few tries to find the right combo I’d nausea and spasm meds to take. I’m on day 4 now and have been able to keep everything down. So scary, especially when you know there is nothing in there to come up. Took me a day to realize it was nausea that was getting me. It does get better. I tried several different drinks too. Also helped when I got in some diluted juice.< br>

Awe god bless you, thank goodness you are better now! I finally feel better today and it's day 2 for me! I am able to go home if I can keep my liquids down. Which I'm sure I can since I have taken my meds fine. I still get like hungry pains it feels like. Is that normal too?

Nellybelly04, I had my surgery the same day as you did. I had surgery before and I am always nauseated from anesthesia. I was lucky as I did not throw up but I tried to keep on top of the nausea and tried relaxation tools like meditation and visualization. I feel for you as I was so worried I was going to vomit. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as we are same day surgery buddies. It sounds like you have a very positive attitude which will serve you well.

Awe yay surgery buddies! I'm happy that you didn't get sick! That is awesome! I finally was feeling better around 7am. I got to eat around 2pm after I got my xray done to make sure there was no leakage. And everything went down so well. I'm just dealing with hunger pains right now since I have ate since Sunday night. But other than that, I'm doing really good! I hope you are doing good as well!! I will keep you in my prayers! Thank you again dwiana67!!!

I had surgery yesterday. My hospital put a a tiny nausia dot behind my ear.

They also gave me some iv cocktail to reduce nasia.

From a previous surgery, carpol-tunel, the coding in Tylenol 3 made me natious.

I have been hungry too and from what I have read from others, this will continue. Many individuals say this is real. Others say this is mind over matter. I am sure that this will be difficult until we can eat solid foods. It is very difficult not being able to chew and eat things we are used to eating. I am wanting everything I see others eating and on t.v. I am trying to stick to Netflix and remind myself in time I can eat regular food. I think it is just going to take time. At least that is what I am telling myself.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
