Vomiting after surgery?

[MrsFraga2016 72]

Has anyone else vomited after surgery? I threw up twice the first day.

Threw up once last night, but I think it was because I was soooo hungry that my body was fighting back.

The see through liquids diet sucks.

They should have given you anti-nausea meds. Vomiting is the worst thing you can do right after lap band surgery.

They did. I had a patch behind my ear and later got an Iv injection of anti nausea meds. I threw up after they gave me a certain type of meds to drink.

I threw up at home because I was so hungry it was making my tummy upset.

Wow. It sounds like you're alergic to the meds. Not sure what you need to do, but please avoid vomiting at all costs.

Ugh. Yes. I threw up for 2 days after surgery. I had the patch behind my ear and some other anti-nausea medicine, too. For me, the meds just didn't work. It went away after a few days. Everything was fine with my lap band.

I threw up a ton because I was so swollen liquid would not go down period. I had to go on IV drip with cortisone. I am ok 1 week post op now. I hope I did not damage the band

I had trouble with the anesthesia making me vomit while it was working its way out of my system. Whenever I tried to take the anti nausea meds they would come right back up. Same with any liquids. ugh. Within 24 hours I felt much better. I talked to the surgeons office and they said if it went on til the next day to call back but luckily it went away and everything was fine. That was almost 4 weeks ago now.
