My Dad is day three post op with an illeal conduit and having bad nausea. He started drinking ginger ale. Assuming that this may be something that he shouldn’t be doing based on the response to the original post question? Also wondering how other people have managed the nausea and bloating after the surgery? want to find ways to help make my Dad’s recovery easier. Thanks in advance and I hope Pjay you are doing well!
Thank you for responding so quickly. He has a very low threshold for pain and is also now managing nerve pain from the epidural he had. On top of the pain, he has bad bloating and nausea. Fortunately his surgery wasn’t long-only about 2 hrs and a bit and no big blood loss. He is in his early 80s so not surprised the recovery is challenging, just didn’t realize it was going to be this hard for him. I think I will call the patient support volunteer line and ask to speak to someone who has had the surgery. Thanks again.
