I was the same and it was from the pain meds. Once they switched it around, I was good to go. I hope that by now, you're feeling better. Let us know!

I have no idea what it was from but for a solid 48 hours it was torture. I pulled muscles in my neck and burst blood vessels that's how hard I was heaving. Thankful to finally be home after a 4 night hospital stay, but struggling to sleep because for the life of me I cannot get comfortable. I had zero sleep last night but can't manage to even doze during the day. Sucks!
Surgery date 4/27/18 !!!
I'm sorry. It WILL get better. Are you still nauseated?

No thank the Lord! I'm not in any pain either. I wasn't in pain in the hospital at all and didn't take any of the pain meds except after a heaving episode! Now that it's behind me, I'm looking forward to when I sleep through the night and when I'm not constantly on the damn toilet! I went from my bed to the recliner 5 times last night.
