Did Anyone Get Sick From Anesthesia?

My surgery was the 24th at 7 am and should have been able to go home that day but the anesthesia made me sick. I spent the first 12 hours after surgery dry heaving and it was painful. I am feeling much better now but still have pain at the port sight. On the good side I am not hungry at all!!

I was sick as a dog after surgery! OMG, that was the worst anesthesia ever!! I was got congested in my chest/nose. I was hacking up phelm, my nose got crusted and bled once when I blew into a tissue. It only lasted a few days, but still! I had anesthesia before, my last one when I had my hip replaced I was put under for over 4 hours while the surgeon worked on me consistantly. I had none of these after affects. I was up, alert, drinking Water, talking, etc. With this surgery, I didn't even know where the heck I was, I barely kept my head up. I felt strung out, LOL. Not in a good way of course

Like I said, it only lasted a few days,. Everyone experiences are different with anesthesia, just keep in mind its a temporary feeling...

Why didn't your doctors pre treat y'all for that? I was treated for it before surgery and they continued the shots for 36 hrs .. Then sent me home with med

They kept giving me anti-nausea medz but nothing seemed to help. I don't know if they gave me one before the surgery but I would highly suggest to anyone about to go into surgery to ask for one beforehand!

I wasn't sick but had some kind of allergic reaction to something because I started sneezing in the recovery room And continued until I finally fell asleep at night in my own bed. My doctor said he had never heard of somone sneezing but the hospital was being renovated in a section near post op and it may have triggered an alergic reaction.

the nurses felt so bad so called him and he prescribed me some Benadryl which of course made me sleepy but I was in and out in seven hours and other than the sneezing had no problems

I was pre-treated and I was still sick and heaving for 3 days! I also still have pain sometimes. I was banded 9/13/12. I do believe it will get better.
