No: You shouldn't be nauseated from an anesthesic 2 weeks after it was administered. Perhaps you are using post op narcotics or have a different medical reason for the nausea.

No: It is either related to surgery or post op opioids.

Not usual: I don't think we can blame this one on anesthesia given the timeframe; most likely the nausea is related to your use of pain medication or, less likely, your surgery.

No: Postoperative nausea after anesthesia is a fairly limited event clearing up with a day or so. It is more likely that you are having a side effect of narcotic pain medications. If neither of these is the case then you need to talk to your anesthesiologist and/or surgeon.

No: Anesthesia related nausea is usually gone within 24 hours. Your symptoms are concerning and if they are not pain medication ( narcotics) related you need evaluation. Do not delay, physician can help find why you have this problem.
