I am getting Lipo and a tummy tuck in a few weeks, I am wondering if I should fork out the money for nausea medication or I can do with out it?
Answer: Nausea medicine your insurance may cover nausea medicine and if not and its still expensive maybe just have them prescribe you just 5 pills instead of 25 so that it's not too much money. Some patients hate nausea worse than pain so I would get the nausea medicine if I were you. Good luck! DSR

Answer: Nausea meds necessary after TT Although nausea can occur with any post operative patient the anesthesia these days is great as far as prophylactically preventing nausea with medication. That being said some patients do still experience nausea, so you might not want to risk it. Talk to your doctor about alternatives for the medication he wrote for you. If there is a generic form available that is almost always cheaper. Good luck with your procedure!

Answer: Post op nausea While nausea after anesthesia used to be fairly common, with current anesthetic techniques very few patients experience nausea (only about 5% in our practice). You will probably be fine, but discuss you concerns with the anesthesiologist. There are inexpensive antiemetic medications available.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thanks for your question. There are a lot of different choices for anti-nausea medication (many of which are very inexpensive) so I would encourage you to ask the pharmacist for your options. If you have nausea that causes you to vomit you will be miserable and can ruin your result, so yes I would say you should have a few tablets on hand. Phenergan and Zofran are usually inexpensive. Best of luck to you
