The Day Before Surgery

I'm around 307 lbs (as of Thursday) so it's more than likely laprascopic. Hopefully I don't need those drains!
By this time, you have been under the knife. Let me know how it went. I have been dying to know what pain pills people get. Not because I'm a junkie (believe me, I could score better drugs much more easily in this city), but because I fear pain.

The first two days in the hospital I was on a liquid pain killer which worked great even though it did make me sick every time I got some in my IV. The pills I got sent home with worked great as well. The real pain only lasted a couple of days, I am five days out and only use them for sleeping at night.
