Is it possible to vomit while under anesthesia after having mommy makeover surgery?

July 9, 2016
Asked By:katiemcc1a in Yucaipa, CA

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?
