Gallbladder Surgery Recovery: Nausea and Vomiting
Some patients experience nausea and/or vomiting following gallbladder surgery. However symptoms may not be noticed initially during the recovery phase at the hospital. Instead, patients may experience nausea or vomiting once they begin moving around or getting up from the hospital bed.
It is very important that the patient notify the medical staff immediately if they experience nausea. As with most surgeries and abdominal surgeries in particular, the ability to take pain medications orally is very important. The medical staff can provide you with medication (administered via a needle injection or a suppository) to alleviate the nausea. Depending on the severity of the nausea your doctor may opt to prescribe additional anti-nausea medication for your use after you leave the hospital.
Just remember that experiencing slight nausea after gallbladder surgery is not uncommon but you should inform the medical staff once you experience symptoms. The medical staff is there to ensure your recovery is as comfortable as possible.

I ama 49 year old male had gall blafder surgery 7 days ago, was doing fine until the 6th day. I had Nausea and Vomiting problem and went to see my Dr. nurse and she said its not normal and to let them know if it keeps happening. I did ramp up exercising and eating the day I became ill but she discouted this. I am hoping I am right and I just over did it. I have no other problems since the surgery. Has anyone else experience this issue and what was the out come.
Thanks,
Patrick
When I had my gallbladder removed I had some slight nausea immediately after the surgery but they gave me some medicine for it and it passed by the next day.
It’s odd that you didn’t have any nausea until the 6th day. Did you eat something that was rich (creamy) or greasy? It takes your digestive system several weeks to adapt to the fact that you no longer have a gallbladder. Even today if I eat certain greasy foods (for me it’s foods like fried fish or Chinese food with MSG) I have abdominal pains and diarrhea.
If you continue to experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting you should probably see your physician.

Naomi:
You should probably see your doctor if you’re experiencing nausea 4 weeks after your surgery.
I hope you feel better soon.
