Did anyone else have an anti-nausea patch to wear?



Recommended Posts

Wondered if it should be really sticky? My surgeon requires me to wear one 24 hours but mine isn't super sticky and I'm afraid it will fall off

I put my patch on 2 hrs prior to leaving.

They put mine on when I was being prepped for surgery. It stayed on for two days until the nurse took it off. Be careful not to touch the medicine on it...they told me it would cause blurred vision if you touch it and then touch your eyes. I just let the nurse take care of it, LOL.

Yes, and mine stayed on just fine. Put it on and forget about it until time to remove it.

I had one when I first got in the hospital and registered. I forgot it was there :).

I always get sick after surgery. Between the shot they gave me and the patch they put on while prepping for surgery. I had no problems. Patch was on for 2 days. Took off when released from hospital.

They gave me one when I was being prepped as well, and took it off before I left 2 days later...it lasted through a shower as well.

They put one on me when I was being prepped for surgery. And the blurry vision is true! I left mine on for days and my vision was totally blurry.

Was patched at the hospital and was told it would dilate your pupils if you touched it and touched your eyes.

I took mine off the next day. I had no nausea but was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. Apparently that's a side effect.

Are you sure you peeled the back off properly? Those things are super sticky. At least the ones il had. I know that seems like a dumb question but I've had several and that stuff is very sticky! Maybe its a different brand.....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
