What do you use to alleviate your nausea? Has anyone ever used an accupressure band around the wrist (i.e., BioBand, etc.) or a patch for the post-surgery nausea? I would like to be proactive on this and not wait until it hits me to do something. I'd like to have some things on hand.....

my doctor gave me prescription for phenagran(liquid)..plus I had to wear a patch behind my ear for three days...one day before sugery and two days after surgery...never had one bit of nausea..

Now THAT'S proactive! I can take all the post-surgical pain in the world but nausea is a MAJOR BUMMER.

I didn't have any problem with it, but I have used ginger tea for it at other times.

My doctor also gave me a prescription.

I would call your doctor. My surgery isn't until May 7th, and I've already got my prescription for phengren. I'm sure he could call something into the pharmacy for you.

Kacee,

I'm the worst at nausea. I have never had a surgery where I did not wake up losing everthing for hours. I had the patch behind the ear preop and the nurses used many anti nausea meds but the only one that worked was phenegran. Don't mess with anything else tell them to have it standing by because if your like me , you'll need it. The only thing it knocks you out, so if you have visitors, forget about it. You'lll be sleeping like a baby.

Hey guys,

thanks for the heads up.... I too hate the "throw up" feeling after surgery. I did not know about the meds. I am writing that down now.

My surgery is May 14th..... one week behind NVgirl. Cool.

I used a patch for three days. Nausea was not an issue.
