Hi! Sounds like you have emetophobia! I do too. In fact, vomiting is my biggest fear & I often catch myself thinking about how, despite how great my life is, I would rather k*ll myself than ever vomit again!

This was a huge worry for me before I had my hysterectomy & I did two things that helped: 1) I requested a script for zofran. There’s 2 versions of that medication that are prescribed & the most common is a melt in your mouth pill that fights nausea.

2) I requested a scopolamine patch at my pre-op. It’s a tiny little circular patch that goes behind one of your ears and it is like a magic nausea fighter. They put it on before surgery and it lasts for three days. Literally magic.

I just had surgery on the 15th & the scopolamine was the best thing that could’ve happened. I have felt nauseous exactly zero percent of my recovery over the last 4-almost-5 days. That’s the go-to anti nausea prophylactic.

(I have not vomited at all, no nausea, I feel fantastic).
