Q: Post Appendecectomy complications

I recently had appendicitus, it had not yet ruptured and the operation was done successfully 1 day later via Laparoscopic method. (Keyhole surgery, 3 incision holes). I felt OKAY after returning from hospital 2 days later and for the following week I was OK. The next 2 weeks however, were followed with a feeling in my sinus/throat area that made me feel like gagging, and it was accompanied by nauseated, ticklish feeling in the stomach that almost makes me feel like punching my stomach. I had diarrhea after the operation but since then my bowels have been fairly normal, with some episodes of minor constipation. I have also had regular bloating. After those 2 weeks, I felt OK with the feelings of nausea only coming now and then. I usually have no appetite since the operation (it's been 5 weeks now), but once I start eating I am OK. The doctor prescribed me some amoxxil to take for a sinus infection, which he believed was the cause of the sensation in my throat,nose area, and I have just finished them today. Today I have also had extreme bloating and a nauseated feeling in my stomach again.

This is starting to stress me so much, and I just want to feel "normal" again. I have no notable pain anymore, my wounds are not infected and are healing well. Its just this recurring feeling of nausea that I have, bloating, and a gagging feeling in my throat/nasal area. Thanks for any help.

You need to see a doctor, would suggest you see the surgeon that operated on you and see if there is a reason for what is going on from the surgery.

If it isn't from surgery, then the surgeon will direct you to see your primary doctor.

Start with the surgeon.

good luck
