It seems that most of us experience some nausea after laparoscopy. Many medications exist to help with this. Some can be taken before surgery, some during, and some after. Talk with your anesthesiologist beforehand about the methods they use to minimize nausea. Many women find that nausea is lessened when they lay flat. Some natural remedies, such as ginger tea, may also alleviate nausea. To be on the safe side, always ask your health care professional before taking any herbs or supplements. If you have undergone prior surgeries and were nauseated, please let your anesthesiologist know, and they will give you an extra anti-nausea medicine during the surgery. Most women find this very helpful.
