Recommended Posts

so what happens if you get the stomach flu? I have two little ones that brig home everything possible. Will my stomach explode or something ?( I know that won't happen... Right?)

At my pre op seminar today the RN said for the next couple years that we should always have Zofran on hand in cases such as what you just described. She said she doesn't want us throwing up... Not that it can be avoided.... And no your stomach isn't going to explode. Probably just need to be extra careful during those times.

Before surgery I was given a prescription for anti nausea medication. It's been about 10 months since surgery. I have thrown up twice. Both times I had eaten meat that just did not agree with me. Once it was beef and other was pork. I just stayed away from it for a few weeks. Back to the question though.... sorry for rambling lol! The anti nausea medication really works... I imagine that would be the treatment when getting the flu....

No, you won't explode! Good ideas above. Glad my childhood illnesses are behind me!
