Has anyone else had issues with dry heaving the first couple of days post op? I feel like my biggest incision or the muscle is tearing every single time and it hurts worse than anything?

I didn't have any issues with any heaving or what not, but if you use a pillow or cloth and press into the area that's hurting when you heave or cough, it'll help with the tearing sensation.

Have you called your bariatric surgeon for guidance? I didn’t experience dry heaving post-op, nor did I have any post-op nausea either. Are you dehydrated by any chance? Regardless, call your doctor for advice. Good luck.

I know that every experience is different and I did call. He says it’s more than likely just gas trying to make its way out and that the dry heaving was because I may have had too thick of a broth yesterday that caused my stomach to be upset.
