So my roommate went in for a hernia repair and expansion/reinforcement of her diaphragm and esophagus on December 14, 2016. She coded twice in surgery and was then placed in a medically induced coma and didn't wake up until Christmas. Since she came home on December 27th, she hasn'tbeen able to eat a full meal without throwing up. The surgeon said take one of the nausea pills 30 minutes before she eats and that's not helping. Her surgeon is a sick and really doesn't want to help out and I can't get her convinced to go to the ER. Any suggestions????

Tell her to go and get checked for Sepsis. It affects eating and it could kill her
