Help !! The posts about sickness after op are putting me off ! Started by: Anonymous

Hi Stephanie

I also have a fear of being sick but I just had to get on with it ( don’t mean that as horrible as it sounds) I was completely fine didn’t even feel sick it was more of a tight and heavy feeling and very very tired!!! You will be perfectly fine and if you mention it to the anethestist I’m sure they give you anti sickeness in your cannula

You will be fine xx

I was completely fine after sugury Hun they give you anti sickness tablets while under and fluids so you shouldn’t be sick Hun xxx

I have a severe phobia of being sick! I’m literally sending myslef into anxiety over the thought of post op sickness and I’ve still got 9 weeks to go! I won’t even cope if anyone else is sick around me 🙁

I’ve already decided I’m not taking tramadol/codine etc as I’ve felt super sick after those before and just going to ask for as much anti sickness as possible. Mum also has the same phobia so the car journey home should be fun if I’m puking!

I’d honestly rather be awake and feel it then wake up sick or have sickness for the few days after!
Sound sooo stupid to some, but I completely understand where you are coming from x

Hiya, I’m exactly the same – my op is in 2 weeks and I’m terrified. Got a severe phobia and it’s setting off my anxiety – but I know I have to feel the fear and do it anyway!!

I had my op with mya in Fitzroy yesterday. I have to say the anaesthetist was lovely really put me at ease. She puts anti sickness in your cannula and personally I woke up feeling nothing but tired. The pain didn’t even kick in right away. I was just shattered. About an hour later they came round to try and get me to have a cup of tea and toast. I wasn’t sure at first but once I started eating I couldn’t stop. No sickness what so ever from anaesthetic. Yes today I’m in pain but honestly I already feel it’s worth it.

Everyone is different! I was terrified too but I had next to no pain and wasn’t sick once!
Don’t let it put you off as it might not happen to you but if so it’s only for a short period of time xxx

I have a genuine phobia of vomit, I’m absolutely petrified of it! That was one of my biggest worries regarding the anaesthetic. They give you anti sickness drugs in your cannula. I didn’t feel th slightest bit sick after surgery, infact I felt really good afterwards!! My post-op posts on my page have more detail. The painkillers and antibiotics didn’t make me feel sick either. Good luck, I hope it goes well!!

I had my ba done under twilight sedation. So much better than genral. No side effects what so ever! Stood up from the operating table wheeled back to my room then got straight up to walk to the toilet unaided got dressed myself about 10 mins later had a coffee an some toast an left an hour after. Was so worried before the op about twilight sedation but was litrally the best thing ever x

I’ve not had my BA yet but I have been put to sleep 3 times for ops on my eyes and woke up feeling fine the once then I felt sick on the other two but wasn’t actually sick just didn’t want to eat etc I think it affects different people in different ways hun don’t let it put you off though most of the time you just feel sick and not actually sick xx

Hey Hun, I was completely fine after mine! I didn’t even have any pain killers after, I think the more anxious you are I think it probably makes it worse.. just try to put your mind at rest and think of waking up with boobies!! My experience was great, the staff are all so nice and reassure you as I had never had an op before! All the best, try not to panic xxx
