My doctor did not call in the Emendation I needed to take tonight. Did anyone else take this med prior to surgery. My surgery is in the AM. Should I lay on another level of anxiety?

I never heard of it. What's it for?

Nausea

Was that Emend? My surgeon's office gave us one today. It is an anti-nausea medication. We only get 1 and we're supposed to take it the minute we walk in the hospital door. They said it works wonders.

It's expensive and they told us insurance won't cover it. It's hard to find, supposedly. My WalMart said they could get it by tomorrow and it is $90 for 1 pill. It wasn't required but recommended.

I'm sure they can give you something at the hospital.

Thanks.....$90 omg!!!!!

I got a patch behind my ear before surgery

I think all the meds work differently. I have a terrible time with nausea after surgery, even with the patch behind the ear so I am very willing to pay $90 for this wonder drug.

The anesthesiologist's NP was saying something about the patch being for motion sickness and did I have that and I said yes! She didn't want me to have the patch and the Emend but finally consented.

This is my 3rd surgery so hoping the 3rd times a charm!

I had none of that and didn't need it. I was given lots of meds post op due to nausea and they worked just fine. For free.

Look for rx discount code for the amend... I can't remember but I found one that lowered my cost significantly. What I didn't know is that if you ask for it upon arrival at the hospital they will give it to you and the costs are absorbed with your surgery costs. Good luck
