Tomorrow I will be banded!!!

Hello everyone save some room on the losers bench for me, its my band day!! Finally I thought the pre-op was going to kill me for sure!  1 Question, what kind of pain meds do they usually give after surgery, because my Doc said you will need just tylenol and I was like WHAT!!!  Thank yiou to all of you for all of your support and I will see ya on the other side!  Take Care and God Bless!

First off Congrats!..  I had liquid Vicodan, that really didn't work as well as liquid tylenol did.   Use a heating pad on the gas pain (shoulders) and I used ice on my band pain (right below your cleavage) to help keep the swelling down and also used it on my port pain as it's more bruised and swollen.  Some say use heat.. ice worked for me. Take a pillow with you for the ride home, helps with the seat belt problem.     Good luck on your surgery.. heal quickly.. sip sip sip.. walk walk walk.. sleep too.. if you are in pain call your dr and have them call something in.. there is no reason to ever be in pain if you don't have to be.

I so agree , I don't think I took any med when I got home . I don't think it was that bad.... But its been 11 months and I am getting OLD.... So do as other say....LOL

Best of luck to you tomorrow....  I am sure you will come through with flying colors..... For me I only used Tylenol because the other stuff they were trying to give me just made me sick....  It seemed to work fine for me, but everyone has a different experience with pain.... Hope you have a speedy recovery...
