Recovery question

[stargirl19 1]

Hi I just finished my operation and I’m in the hospital, I won’t stop “puking” and nothing is coming out. I feel gassy but I’m not releasing gas. Hey put me on morphine but nothing works help!

I would just explain this to the nurse/doctor that is seeing you.

its normal to feel gassy and not expel it. The “puking” feeling could be because you are nauseous; maybe ask for anti-nausea meds

Hey! I felt the same way had a similar situation when I had my surgery in April 2nd. I felt gassy but wasn’t expelling gas from either end. When I finally passed gas and began burping, I felt so much better. Sipping drinks helps cut back on the “puking” feeling.

I had complications but now I’m feeling better. Walking/standing also helps move the gas around and it made me start feeling a lot better.

Hope this helps!

This really helped! I felt the same exact way after surgery, they told me the nausea was due to the anesthesia. This really helps and it’s comforting to know someone else has a similar experience because everyone seems to be telling me a bunch of stuff lol my surgery was April 30th, it’s been a week and I feel a lot better.

I had nausea really bad. They alternated between two anti nausea drugs(one worked and one didn’t). They then gave me anti nausea Patches for behind my ears which started to help. The good news on day four I was so much better!

I am five days post-op. My doctor put me on a behind the ear anti-nausea patch the night before the surgery and it was a life saver. I can identify with the gassy feeling. The thing that helped me most with that was getting up and walking around the hospital floor once an hour. The gas just needs to work its way out via the release of CO2 via the breathing process.
