Question
I always vomit from the anesthesia. Is there any anesthesia that will not cause nausea and vomiting?
There is nothing that can give a 100% guarantee though having something done under local anaesthesia comes close. However there are lots of techniques we can use for people like yourself to reduce the chances of you being sick. It comes down to attention to detail and is not cured by using one simple drug.
Sorry there is no simple answer
Kind regards
