Yeah, that's the worst thing about surgery -- nausea from the anesthesia. Ugh! The last time I just needed twilight. Much better. NO nausea.

we got a script for Zofran. the bands seem to be really working. he got nauseas after he took it off and it went away when he put it back.

Or placebo!! Happy to hear the bands work, and I bet they are cheaper than that Zofran~

Texannie, where did you get the bands? We are crossing the Atlantic on a ship, and while we usually just take the meclizine and are never sick, this will be the biggest ocean and longest crossing we have been on in years.

Walgreens, right next to the Bonnine and Dramamine. ds did have a hard time getting used to them and they do leave an indentation but, they work!

Thanks! I might be going to Walgreens this week. Well, I suppose most all drugstores have them.

i imagine. there was a generic but it looked like the wristband was adjustable. i was worried that might not work correctly.

Juju, you should try 'em out first somehow, if you can. They didn't work at all for me. I understand it's very individual. The electric pulse one works for me (same place, diffferent kind of stimulation), but as I said it can be very distracting.

LOL, Juju. That would work for me. Or one of those round and round rides.

FWIW, folks I know who get terribly seasick have had better luck with Bonnine than Dramamine. Just sayin'... Room temp ginger ale sometimes works. But nothing will work if you can't keep it down. You didn't say what the cause of the nausea is?
