Anesthesia question

Anesthesia question

I had surgery on friday where I was given anesthesia. The anesthesiologist (sp) said not to eat anything big that night, I didnt because I wasnt hungry anyway. During the last couple of days I ate toast and was fine. But the past 2 nights, i ate dinner and felt really sick afterwords. Now today, i ate a bagel and again am feelin nautious and sick. Is it still because of that? I know this is probably a tough question and you might not know the answer, but i figured i'd throw it out there. Thanks anyway

Re: Anesthesia question

I had a similar situation for 4 days after my surgery. Sometimes the anesthesia takes longer to come out of your body. I dont have an explanation for why but when i went to the doctor for my followup i told him my discomfort and he said its completely normal. If it goes on for more than a few days after, i would call your doctor. Feel better

Whenver I've had surgery, it takes at least a week for the anesthesia to come out of my system COMPLETELY

Re: Anesthesia question

i didn't have that problem but im sure it happens...just call your doctor to let him know, these things do happen and he can tell you why and what to do so it can ease your mind.

Feel better

Re: Anesthesia question

Thanks. I feel fine other wise. I'm not in as much pain as I thought I would be. Its just after I eat. But I see the dr. tomorrow, so i'll be sure to ask him why.

Re: Anesthesia question

I had the same thing. I needed atleast a week for the anesthesia to leave my body completely.

Ok, you girls are making me feel better. I am going to have a smoothie for dinner. I had it the first night and I was fine. Hmm.. maybe i'll lose weight by not being able to eat

Me too - I'm the same way. It totally knocks me out for a few days. Try eating really light foods - like white meat chicken and soup. Feel better!

My sister had surgery, and got really sick, throwing up
