It's a scalpalomine patch to prevent nausea. I wasn't nauseous after surgery, but was a few hours later. I never ended up vomiting, but did feel like it a couple times hours after surgery.

Re: Why do I have to wear a patch behind my ear before hysterectomy?
If I ever have another surgery I will be requesting anti nausea medication. I was sick after my surgery. And I was asked to wait to see if went away. It did not then I had to wait for approval from attending Dr. The good thing was once I got the anti nausea meds it worked instantly. Never hurts to be prepared

Re: Why do I have to wear a patch behind my ear before hysterectomy?
I loved the antinausea medication. The first time I had surgery the nausea was the worst thing. After that, since I knew, I had the patch and IV scopolamine, and had no nausea whatsoever. I highly recommend it.

The Drs. really don't want you to get sick,because of the strain on your abdominal muscles .

Re: Why do I have to wear a patch behind my ear before hysterectomy?
I think I was given a pill for nausea right before surgery, but I wish I'd had something stronger. I was nauseous for about 3 hours post op due to the anesthesia.I was given crackers and ginger ale and I waited it out in a recliner... with DH beside me. I went home after the nausea subsided.. and I even rode in a car for about 20 mins to get home... no problem.That night, I had a little bit of nausea.. it came in waves, but nothing too terrible. The next day, I was fine.
Unfortunately, most anesthesias have this side effect, and it will affect some people worse than others. I would welcome any attempts on the doc's part to prevent nausea. I really would.

Re: Why do I have to wear a patch behind my ear before hysterectomy?
Hi Theresa,
I have gotten sick several times from the anesthetic so they gave me something in the IV to make sure that didn't happen. Not everyone gets sick but they take precautions so you won't. That's a good thing.
Take a deep breath - you are going to get through this. It is normal to be nervous and freak out before surgery. This is all new territory. Your sisters are here for you and ready to walk beside you through this journey. .
Our prayers are with you on the 17th. Best wishes.

Re: Why do I have to wear a patch behind my ear before hysterectomy?
What the doctor does not tell you is that a hysterectomy is one of the most nauseating surgeries . So thats why you your doctors wants you to wear a patch . In some women they do not feel sick but most due after surgery mine came a few hours later. But the hospital did a great job keeping it under control..

Having used the patch while on a cruise, be sure to leave it on fir the recommended time. I took mine off too soon and all the nausea along with vertigo came full blown. Good luck!
