Post op pain/nausea

NancyJ1960 · March 7, 2008

I am 4 days post op (3 spent in the hospital). Did anyone else have severe and uncontrollable pain, wretching and nausea? Right now this is the biggest mistake of my life. I have had many surgeries and medical problems and nothing has compared to the pain of this procedure. :confused2:

I am also on my fourth day and still in alot of pain and almost out of pain meds, which sucks. I haven't had any nausea, thank goodness. But don't think of it as a mistake! It WILL get better, I'm sure of that!

Nancy, I would call your doctor and get your pain under control. I too had nauseau and he gave me an anti nauseau medication that really helped. This surgery was easy for me so it shouldn't be that difficult for you. You just need to make sure to manage your symptoms . Good luck. Feel better!

I am on day 4 not to much pain and the doctor put a patch behind my ear to prevent that sick feeling, it worked. Side effects are extreme cotton mouth. I know you will feel better after this week is over. Hang in there!!

I had a lot of pain in my stomach and around my port incision. I am 8 days post-op and started feeling much better around day 6 to 7. Nothing helped my nausea except time. Never even took my pain meds.

We will be victorious!

The dr. should have prescribed something for the nausea.
