Hello,
I'm a week post mastectomy, healing fairly well but experiencing an upset stomach - has anyone else had the same thing? Is it just the body readjusting after anaesthetic and morphine?
Thanks x
Hi Pancakes and welcome to the forum. So glad to hear that at least the surgery part is past for you. Im not sure if this has happened for others but I do know that the anaesthetic can take a while to get out of your system. As well as that you have been through the mill so maybe not too surprising that your tummy feels upset. See what its like over the next couple of days and if it is persisting then maybe time to see GP as you may have a tummy bug but hopefully it will settle down on its own.
Sending hugs meanttime. xx
