Nausea & Sensitivity to Pain Meds

[MELR]

I am less than a month from my surgery with Dr. Nick in Dallas. I live in Fl. They have already called in multiple prescriptions. I have 4 scripts for nausea alone (not counting what they will give me in the IV). I have a gel that I rub between my wrists, the patch for night before, sublingual anti-nausea, and Emend (1 pill which costs almost $70 for ONE pill). Ok, so I guess nausea is a big deal for some and a not-so-big-deal for others. I am going to take everything I can get because I don't want to be in the hospital and wish I had bought the one pill that supposedly lasts for several days.

As well, I am scared because they prescribed me hydrocodone which I have on my allergy list. It makes me really sick/vomiting with itching and hives. Also,I had a surgery in Oct whereby I was in ICU for a day and I was given dilaudid. It helped me the first few times I had it but suddenly after a dose of it, I started vomiting/heaving. I was also given benedryl for the itchiness. It is my understanding that I may not have a deadly allergy to these meds, but just a high sensitivity. I guess the bottom line is: I am concerned that I am not going to have adequate pain control.

Also does anyone know anything about the left side muscle stitch that Dr. Nick does? Apparently it is a very tight stitch and it "pops" somewhere between 3-6 weeks and before the stitch pops, it causes quite a bit of pain for some. Chime in if you guys know about any of this stuff. Sorry this post is kind of all over the place. I do appreciate everyone's input.

I have a huge list of drug allergies...codeine, darvon, vicodan, percodan, oxycontin. I didnt need any pain or nausea meds. The surgery itself was easy peasy for me. Best of luck:-)
