Nausia after op

i think it depends. i am not having a pump this time but an epidural to be left in for 3 days.

I had a morphine pump. Surgery was at 8:00 am. I had the pump when I got to my room until the next morning. I switched to Percocet after that, but I didn't end up needing very much of it.

I hope they keep me on for at least three or four months!

Not really! I don't like pain medicine. I've taken my share and someone else's in my life.

By contrast, I am concerned about nausea. I hate nausea at least as much as I hate pain medicine. If I thought I could endure the pain, I'd skip all the medicine entirely.
