AngieG0410 52 Posted April 9, 2012 My dr says it will be horrible nausea for 2 weeks. He is giving me the patch to put behind my ear. Surgery is Tuesday. What can I expect, nausea-wise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atkinsoncl 62 Posted April 9, 2012 I only had it for about 24-36 hours. I heard this is one of the biggest complaints after surgery. I didn't have it long, nor did I have the painful gas. Everyone's body reacts differently. Good luck to you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveDreamer 383 Posted April 9, 2012 I don't know why your doctor would say that. I never had any nausea at all. Your doctor can give you something for it anyway even if you don't have it that prevents it. Some may have it as a reaction to anesthetic. i think it's strage that he said you would have it, and wonder what he is basing it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missmarbe 25 Posted April 9, 2012 My doc gave me the "patch" to put behind my ear for surgery and wrote me a Rx for 2 for when I got out of the hospital. He also wrote a Rx for Zofran (anti-nausea med). I was only nauseous like 6 days post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmw10000 35 Posted April 9, 2012 I had nausea for about 36 hours... But i always do after surgery the sleep meds make me sick. After that only a couple of times was i feeling sick. Just remember to take it slow and easy when drinking don't get in a hurry. I am 6 weeks out and sometimes I start to drink and have a big swallow in my mouth and remember .... i cant do this all at once...lol .. just got to slow down and focus.

Cmullinvegas 39 Posted April 9, 2012 My best friend has been an amazing nurse for me the past 11 days. She said she was recording my med, liquid, and Protein intake and she realized my lortab was making me nauseas. I quit taking it and she was right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rootman 1,101 Posted April 11, 2012 I was nauseas right after surgery and the shots and pills they gave me did nothing. I was nauseas constantly for a few weeks and generally felt crappy for 2 months, then it went away. It was tough but a SMALL SMALL price to pay for the results. This surgery saved AND transformed my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhoozisAnyway 176 Posted April 12, 2012 Zero nausea for me. I was prescribed the patch to put behind my ear, but I had to take it off the day after surgery because it was causing a rash. Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
