newskinnygal 51 Posted July 12, 2012 I took medicine on an empty stomach, basically had a couple bites of Jello. I have surgery in the morning and I just vommitted! I'm scared! What should I do? Is this going to prevent me from getting surgery? I can't eat or drink anything now since it is past 12. :'( my throat and stomach are burning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted July 12, 2012 I would say suck on an ice cube and hopefully it gets better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cazzy 725 Posted July 12, 2012 You have to be NIL BY MOUTH for 8 hours prior to surgery so if its midnight u could get away with a few sips of Water, it certainly wont do u any harm unless u are set for a 6 am surgery. I mean theres always a small leeway what if your clocks were wrong by 20 mins sucking on an ice cube sounds a good idea too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
familygirl 15 Posted July 12, 2012 Everything will be fine... it's just your nerves. :0) perhaps gargle a bit to soothe your throat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
