I'm about to have a second SAVR and was wondering if anyone knew of any way to mitigate the reaction to anesthesia that I, and I imagine some others (fellow gingers), have. It always seems to make me sick (extreme nausea, to put it lightly). I remember the first time. I was seven or eight years old and had 'tubes' put in my ears (mid to late 1970s) and was sick in bed for a week.
For my first SAVR the same nausea was the hardest part of my recovery. I couldn't get out of bed for three days and I don't think I really ate/drank anything for the same period of time.
