Will a Septoplasty make me feel sick after the operation?

December 7, 2016
Asked By:C_Strudwick95 in Eastbourne, GB

I am due to get a Septoplasty next week. I've been told it will make me feel extremely sick for a week after. Is this true? Or is it the anesthetic? I am very nervous about the operation and would like to know what to be ready for.
