I am planning on having a MMO next spring 2017. I will be 38 YO, I am 5'5 and 164 lbs. I have 3 children, and I am currently 3 months postpartum, so I am working on getting down to normal weight by the time I have surgery. I had 2 c-sections and each time as the spinal block was placed I became terrifyingly nauseous. The anesthesiologist said I must be sensitive. I am scared of this happening again during or after surgery. Is there anything I can do to prevent nausea before and after surgery?
Answer: Preventing Nausea During and After Mommy Makeover Surgery Preventing #nausea begins during #surgery with a good #anesthesiologist who uses the ideal combination of medications before during and after. Also, restricting the use of #narcotics as much as possible can help as well. I prefer prescribing #Exparel to my patients post-op for 3 days which will also aid in pain #relief.

Answer: Is it possible to vomit while under anesthesia after having mommy makeover surgery? Thank you for your excellent question. There are many adjunct measures that your anesthesiologist can administer to help avoid nausea and vomiting - scopolamine patches, limited narcotic use, and full intubation. If you are an otherwise healthy individual without significant health issues the risk of anesthesia is quite small. Best wishes on your future surgeries!

Answer: Nausea before and after surgery First of all you will be under general anesthesia but please talk with the anesthesia physician about your history. They can take many steps during and after your surgery to manage this problem. This is manageable for sure.

Answer: Nausea and vomiting with surgery there are several things you can do with the help of your surgeon. A scopolamine patch may be placed behind the ear a few days prior to your surgery. Also a phenergan suppository may be placed at the time of surgery. Be sure to alert the anesthesiologist because there are other drugs which can help during and after surgery as well. GInger ale is great for after surgery because the ginger will help those feelings.

Answer: Nausea Problems with Anesthesia Hello 'katiemcc1a', thanks for your question. Some patients are very sensitive to certain medications and anesthetics are no exception. With the knowledge of your past experiences, it is critical to relay this information to whoever the anesthesiologist is for your mommy makeover surgery. Many times they can administer an anti-nausea cocktail in the pre-op area, usually consisting of a combination of steroids, anti-histamines, and anti-emetic medications. It goes without saying that you also need to be NPO (don't eat or drink anything) after midnight of the night before surgery. Otherwise, be sure you seek a board-certified plastic surgeon for your surgery and make sure they operate in a certified surgery center or main hospital. Feel free to contact us if you would like a consultation and good luck!-Dr.92660
