 Could anyone please tell me if the Doctor will prescribe any post-op pain meds? 
 Friday is my day!

Thanks,

Hello,
When I met with the anesthesiologist It sounded like we would have a pain pump. Where we could push the button to release meds as we needed with a predetermined  amount set.

How is your pre-op going? Yesterday and today have been hard for me. I want nachos (lol). I am sticking with it though. Our day will be here soon. I am nervous and excited. I went to the support group the other day. It was neat. I don't know how to friend you on here but if you figure it out you can friend me.

Hi looking,

 Thanks for the quick reply.  I am kind of hoping that we can take something if we have any post-op pain during our healing time.  The reason I wanted to know is because someone told me no.

Anyway, I hear ya... and yes I am doing good on my pre-op diet, but man I have been a little bit cranky and I think it  is because I am craving all kinds of foods, and yeah, nachos sound great right now!  but like you said I am "nervous and excited" too.  It will be all worth it though for both of us. 

I will try and figure out the friend thing too.  I 'm sure we should stay in touch.

Take care for now, 
Jule

I don't know if you're on a pre op liquid diet or atkins type low carb, but if its the latter, I will tell you that if you use sausage slices, crisp them in the oven, and then put the cheese on them, it's not a bad substitute for nachos, lol
Do Unto others, before they do Unto you..........lol

My doctor prescribed me liquid Loritab. I only took it twice because the downfalls of pain meds outweigh what good they do!
Best of luck

My doctor also gave me an RX for liquid pain meds.  Good luck this week.
  One day at a time, and one meal at a time, and I WILL reach my goal!

I was also given a script for liquid pain meds.  I only needed it a few times and my pain tolerance is very low.  Best of luck to you.

This is how you ask someone to be your friend:
Click on their name under their avitar.
It will take you to their page.
Go to the left side by their avitar and click on "ask to be friend".
They can respond---and voila--you are friends.:)
