Regarding the anti nausea patch - if I haven't had problems with nausea with eye surgery (carrack and tear duct) would the CI cause a different reaction? I'm always reductant to take meds. When I had the tear duct surgery I should have given in and taken the stronger pain pill rather then a Aleve that first night lol. By the next morning I was ok.

I too am reluctant to take unnecessary drugs. Not sure what to tell you. The anti nausea patch is a preventative. I took it when having another surgery on request and had no nausea. This advice was given to me pre CI. I took it and had absolutely no nausea. The strongest drug I took after surgery was Tylenol. Talk to your surgeon about this.
