Hey guys I just kinda wanna explain what’s been going on with me so far with my post surgery and experience. I had my surgery August 21st 2018 so very recently. My surgery went fine and for the first 4-5 days maybe I had stomach pains from surgery where my 5 incisions were. After that was over and my pain went away I was okay for maybe 3-4 days but after that it was all downhill. I have been throwing up for the past week and a half almost. Is this normal? I’m throwing up foamy spit and it’s anywhere from 1 time a day to up to 4 tines a day. I was taking Zofran it helped maybe a couples days but after that it didn’t work. I’m just kinda worried on how long this is gonna last for. I’ve been in the hospital now for 4 days because I can’t keep anything down and i thought I was gonna become dehydrated. But I just wanna know if anyone else went thru this after surgery I would love to know. It’s hard not to become discouraged and think I’m gonna stay like this forever. My name is Matthew I’m very young also for having this surgery I’m only 19 years old. Please any response will do and I will check daily. Hope everyone else is doing alright with this surgery! Much love.

Hi Matthew,
Going to your doctor or the hospital was the right thing to do. Since we're not doctors, the best thing is to listen to your physicians and nurses. While I didn't have this specific issue, it's still very early days. Did you eat/drink anything you shouldn't have? Sticking to the diet plan is really important. And was the Zofran suggested by your doctor? Make sure to tell your doctors everything. It helps them fix you that much faster not to mention you would not have to suffer too.
Good luck and I hope you feel better very soon!

Hello Reena. No I have been sticking to the full liquid diet I just don’t know where things went wrong. They prescribed me Zofran for nausea and Oxycodone for the pain in my stomach. One of the surgeons told me the stuff I am throwing up is normal it might be like that for a couple months which in ways gives me some relief. Just for the time being is really hard. Will continue to take it day by day! Thank you for the response.
