Is Morning Dry Heaving Normal After Ostomy Surgery?

This topic is about a person whose husband is experiencing severe dry heaving every morning after having ostomy surgery. This situation is causing concern, and they are wondering if this is a normal part of recovery.

Here are some helpful insights and advice from others:

1. It seems that no one else in the discussion has experienced similar dry heaving after ostomy surgery, so it might not be directly related to the procedure.

2. Dehydration could be a factor. It's important to make sure he is drinking enough fluids and maintaining a good balance of electrolytes.

3. Take a look at any medications he is currently taking, especially painkillers. Some people have found that nausea and vomiting improved after stopping or adjusting their pain medication.

4. Check that the ostomy is working properly and that the output is normal. If the dry heaving continues, it might indicate a partial blockage.

5. It's crucial to get in touch with the surgeon or at least the primary care doctor as soon as possible. A professional evaluation is needed to rule out any surgical or other medical issues.
