I did not have that problem.  They gave me anti nausea meds right away in my iv,  never had any problem.

I had the scope patch and two antinausea IV meds and still was very ill the first 30 hours. They think it was the pain pump. I was not allowed home until I was over it though.

I was kinda the same way... Nauseated while the pain pump was running Morphine, which also happened to make me itch severely, so it was changed to Dilaudid after the first 4 or 5 hours.  Once it was changed I did not have any more nausea or severe itching!  I had the scopolomine patch and about 4 other anti-nausea meds on board before surgery so if you are prone to nausea, ASK!!!!  

After being dismissed from the hospital, the only time I have felt nausated or thrown up was when I took my multivitamin on an empty stomach!!! Only stayed down about 30 seconds!!! And boy was that PAINFUL!!!

 Oh those dry heaves!!!  The day of my surgery, as I was moved into my room and onto that new bed, I had the worst of them.  Then I found that even though they were giving me the anti-nausea meds in my IV, every time I hit the button for a shot of pain meds, I'd get the dry heaves again!  Small price to pay for the pain meds....it only lasted about 12 hours in the hospital and I was fine when I went home the next day.  No stomach ache, except the tenderness with my incisions and a little gas pain.
Hope everything settles down for you!

My anesthesiologist said before surgery that he makes sure to give what he needs to during surgery so that I would be comfortable after surgery and I was. I also went home with a prescription for metoclopromide which I have used a few times. Takes time to get the hang of what the sleeve can handle.
That sounds awful!

no, but i told the anesthesiologist i was an easy puker and everything makes me nausteated and to give me everything he had to prevent that. Guess he did because i had about 5 minutes of feeling queasy but a shot of something fixed that.

All you pre-ops, don't be afraid to tell the anesthesiologist if you tend toward nausea. there is lots they can do about it but not if they don't know your issue. I also told them to please be gentle in tubing my throat. Just lets them know you are aware you can get a sore throat if they are beat it up with their tubes and maybe makes them a bit more careful. I also told mine the best place to put the IV in since i have had some before that didn't work. I guess I sound bossy but the doc can't know these things if you don't speak up. Diane

yeah i extreame nausea the first 18 hours after surgery, the nausea got better after dry heaving but was still bad, the meds didn't help much, had to stay 2 days in because the first day i couldn't get much fluids in on my own, but was able to walk around which helped some till i layed back down.. just depends on the person i guess..

 I had extreme nausea immediately after coming out of anaesthesia, and had a few brief moments for the first two days. But I never once dry heaved or retched. I demanded plenty of anti-nausea meds though, and they did give them to me.
