A member asked:
What does it mean if a client 2 weeks post sigmoid colectomy suffers from nausea and vomiting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain meds?: The most common cause of nausea and vomiting 2 weeks after colon resection is taking your pain medications on an empty stomach. If that is not the case then contact your surgeon to discuss other possible problems.
