4 weeks post op and still vomiting/sour stomach

OMG I am having so many problems with vomiting and nausea!!! I am having such difficulty getting anything down most of the time, especially vitamins and meds. This has been so hard and I really have remorse! Somebody please help!

Hi That really sucks. I had lots of nausea right after surgery. It lasted for over 36 hours and my Dr kept trying anything. I could not move my head without heaving. He finally tried those patches you wear on a cruise ship. They worked. You need a prescription for them, which I am sure you Dr would give you. I have had to use them several times since I have been home. Not sure it will work but it is worth a try. Works for me, I plan on always having some....Good Luck Praying you will be better

Are you still on painkillers? I had nausea really bad when I got home from the hospital and it was caused by my prescribed painkiller Roxicet. I switched over to Liquid Tylenol for the next two days and then I was done. However, the day after quitting Roxicet and I didnt' feel like I was on a ship anymore. I hope this helps!

I am 3 and 1/2 weeks post op and in the same situation. I can't even think about eating most of the time. I can't stomach any pills. My doctor recently switched me to all chewable and sublingual but they still make me want to heave. You're not alone. I started crying at the doctor's office on Thursday and told them I wish I had never had the surgery. I have a 3 year old and I have such guilt because most nights I just have to park her in front of the tv because I'm so sick I can't get off the couch. I have to admit I've considered eating saltines (but I haven't) because I just feel so sick. This was worse than when I was pregnant. If you find anything that helps, please share!

Julie, I did some extensive research and discovered that I have acid reflux!!! At first I settled it with meltaway pepcid ac doubled dose, twice a day and then turned to prilosec. I know exactly how you feel and I too wish I hadn't done it! Good luck sweetie, and thanks for responding to me. I feel like I am alone with this whole thing because there is no after the fact program for support or advice. If I can help, let me know. Terry Morehouse P.S. I've only started the prilosec, it is a 14 day program that is supposed to last 4 months. You really should start with the pepcid ac (maximum strength), that way your stomach will be somewhat settled and then you can get the pills down.
