Nausea Patch

[JennyBeth 127]

Did anyone's surgeon prescribe them a nausea patch? How did you use it and did it work? I was also given an oral anti-nausea medication called Zofran which I am familiar with.

I was given something intravenously which held me fine, but if you are prone to having nausea with meds or anesthesia, I have heard the Patches are a godsend.

I woke up with the patch after surgery . Since i had no issues they just gave me some pills in case i need them

I put one on the night before surgery. I had gotten sick from prior procedures (from the pain meds.) It worked great for me. I was a bit nauseous but didn't vomit. I was really glad I had it.

Yes i had one in the hospital and kept it on 3 days. It really stops the nausea. I asked for a prescription once discharged and it came up to $50 for 3..?? So i decided to buy the bands for 14.

Yeah-they're expensive. Mine is $56 for 4 of the Patches which lasts for 12-15 days. I had really bad hyperemesis with my first pregnancy and the sea sick bands do absolutely nothing for me so I really have no choice, but to get the prescription filled. I just wanted to make sure they actually work before spending a lot of money on them! I hate nausea so I want to make sure I'm fully prepared for when I come home!
