Let them know you suffer from motion sickness and they will premedicate you to make sure you don’t get sick! Patients that wake up vomiting are a huge aspiration risk and they don’t want that.

I bet that your anesthesiologist will give you a patch either way. I met with mine. He told me of the drug cocktail I will get when i arrive. The patch was one of the items in the mix. Good luck to you!
March 26, 20188 yr I was given the patch, worked great. Doc did not tell me not to touch it! If you touch it and then touch your eye, it will burn. Good luck!

March 27, 20188 yr I let them know I get sick from anesthesia and got a patch which they put behind my ear. I think I also got some medicine. Didn't get sick so I guess it worked. Definitely let them know you want the patch.
March 27, 20188 yr Author good morning, i've been up for a walk and a pee and have had 2 ozs of fluids. they didn't put me back on my IV bag last night so just got that too. flossed and brushed and working on getting an oz down every fifteen minutes. Hanging in there!

March 27, 20188 yr Author I just got home, pain is moderate, not gonna lie. The gas pains are gnarly. I’m getting about an oz every half hour to hour. My back is killing me from laying in bed. Walking really does help. Sorry I sound like such a wuss, I know everyday will get better!
March 28, 20188 yr And it will, you've been through a lot in a short period of time, it will take time for your body to adapt to all the changes. You might have been asleep but your body says I was Right There When All This Happened to Me-I'll be okay in a little while but I've had a Shock! Walk when you can,nap when you need to but remember to get those fluids in!

And when I have a problem I can say Oh Sarah had that too, she got through it okay, I can too![emoji12]Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
March 28, 20188 yr Author You’re so awesome! I keep telling myself one day at a time, tomorrow will be better and the day after that even better! Just took my pain meds and had half a s/f popsicle. Trying the best I can. Haven’t thrown up so doing pretty good! When’s your surgery? Oh and here’s this...
March 28, 20188 yr Well you look like someIone used you for target practice. Poor little tummy you look all beat up but you'll heal soon and serve Sarah very well. If you are a good tummy and you don't give Sarah too much grief, she might take you for a walk later[emoji12]Happy to hear you're fine and on the path to good things.Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
