Second day home after right hemi-colectomy

Hi I had a hemicolectomy last year just took paracetomol as everything else to strong I found taking the antisickness on a regular basis even if I didn't feel sick helped loads I know this isn't much of a reply but it really worked 

Hi 

I think tramadol is an opiate so can make you really nauseous. My mum is sensitive to opiates so we have to watch her pain meds but her GP quickly got that all sorted . If you are struggling give them a phone . 

We also got a cheap backrest to help with positioning for the first few nights . I guess it is a bit individual but it seemed more supportive than pillows . But my mum did not have a stoma to factor in . 
Hope it improves for you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Hi. Sorry to hear that you’re struggling. The painkillers can cause nausea so you could maybe try just paracetamol? The Bowel is a bit if a diva and does not like being manhandled which can cause ileus which is vomiting but should be starting to settle down by now. If you’re still struggling then maybe ring the ward that you were on to run it past them and make sure it’s not a bit of an infection?

Hope you start to feel better soon

Thank you.  

I have had to stop in few years taking any anti sickness tablets as they really made me sleep a lot and any strong painkillers would bound me up after having stoma and temporary pouch - tramadol

very strong and you might be sensitive to it - I would still have terrible wind and cramps if I eat anything gassy or can’t digest it properly I take peppermint for it - I try not to take any painkillers just unsettles me but you could start on a low dose frequently I know it hard but I tested keeling walking even a few steps after my last time in hosp 

Thanks for help.  All settled now  I have been very lucky I think.:)
