Dry heaving after Nissen fundolipication

Hi Tena,
The wrap is pretty robust and while damage can't be completely ruled out I think you're OK. Given some time things should return back to normal. Every once in a while I've either had to much food, or ate something that disagrees with my stomach and I've felt bad for a few days. I think the wrap gets irritated and inflamed and needs time to calm down. I haven't had any dry heaving but I had numerous hiccup episodes early in recovery and I thought I was going to undo everything from the spasms and pain. My wrap is fine and I'm doing very well.

Hope your feeling better soon.

I actually threw up a couple of weeks after surgery and was worried too. The surgeon said if anything had been torn that I would be coughing up blood. That didn’t happen so I think I was ok.

You should always have Zofran (anti-nausea) on hand. Although you're probably fine, its better to take 2 or 3 of those pills than to risk damaging your wrap.

Thanks guys yeah my sergeant never even suggested that I needed anything like that I guess I can just call my general practitioner and ask her for it.
