Surgery was yesterday

gigiinDC · October 28, 2016

I had my surgery around noon yesterday. Everything went really smoothly; my gall bladder was also removed. I woke up and didn't realize for a minute I had actually had surgery. I didn't feel much pain at all. In about 30mins though a bout of nausea took hold. I spit up just a little. I also had relatively mild gas pains and took a gasx strip, which worked wonders. My friend had the nurses bring me nausea medicine (the nurses said they didn't have my orders so I didn't get anything but I've and pain meds until after 9). Now that the nausea has subsided I feel pretty good. I took another gasx strip just to head and possible gas off since I've read on this board how horrible that can be. So far so good... Very little pain and I can walk around just fine. All in all it's been pretty a good experience for me.

Happy for you. Im 4 days post op and still have a lot of pressure from hernia repair. Also have a lot of blurred vision and vertigo. Hope you avoid all those things and have a mild time of it

Since this afternoon I've been experiencing extreme nausea and vomiting bile. It's not fun at all

Hi I just had it 10/28, so yesterday. I get some extreme nausea over gas pains, but overall my gas pains haven't been as often as I was anticipating. Get well! And stay in Touch if you'd like.

Yes the mental part is hard. I know this sounds crazy but I would forget and grab a nibble of food like a piece of fried potato. Of course it didnt go down but it was just a habit to try any food that was around. I did this several times and paid dearly. Food obsession is real. Even though I wasnt hungry i missed the taste of food and spices.

I finally got released from the hospital this afternoon. I had extreme nausea but virtually zero gas pain. They had to switch me off morphine and onto some other pain killer and then gave me this ridiculous nausea medicine called reglan. It was the worst thing I've ever experienced. I wasn't allowed to even have ice chips until late Saturday night (surgery was noon Thursday).
