Vomiting After Surgery?

[audreycat123 59]

Has anyone actually vomited after surgery? I am five days out from surgery and I just had a massive wave of unexpected nausea. I am scared to death to vomit. I fell like I will rip my stomach apart. Has anyone done it....and survived ; )

Vomiting with the band is never good, vomiting so soon after surgery is dangerous.

Call your doctor and see if they can call an anti-nausea medicine into your local pharmacy. They do sell OTC anti-nausea meds too but they're not as effective.

I'm not trying to scare you, but do whatever you must NOT to vomit right now. You have new sutures in your stomach that are just starting to heal and vomiting could do damage.

Best wishes.

Don't take the lack of answers as nobody surviving it

I have not vomited since surgery in May. If you're feeling some nausea, I would put a call into your doctor and ask for some nausea medication. Since it's after hours, they'll have someone on call, or call first thing in the morning. It's best to head off nausea before it gets too bad.

Anti-Nausea meds are the the answer! Call right away!

I vomited a few hours after surgery because of the pain meds. I was concerned but my doctor said if was fine.

I came close to vomiting at hospital and nurse put ice cold cloth on my neck,chest area and forehead and had me sniff alcohol. It did work. Just until you talk to Dr.

Ok guys thanks, I'm gonna try to make it till tomorrow and call my surgeon, I just set out my rubbing alcohol and put a washcloth in the fridge. It was so unexpected? I have only had liquids. I have been feeling so much better today. Then out of the blue it hit me. i ended up going out in the cold and just spitting out like ten mouthfuls of saliva. I wonder what the heck is going on.....

I had a sneezing fit after surgery..for like 3 hours.. It was miserable and I was sure I ripped apart my insides... They finally gave me Benadryl and I stopped and went home..... No damage thankfully.

So heed the advice to call the dr get some anti nausea meds ASAP!! I have a whole bottle I didn't need but was glad I had

My doc said to call any time day or night, not when it's convenient... He always returns ourcalls within minutes, weekends and holidays included!! Amazing doc!!! There are 24 hour pharmacys for a reason, call and ask for a script to be sent in for you. It should t be an issue.
