Pain control
What I'm finding out is that according to mexican laws the Dr. cannot give you any narcotic meds unless you're in the hospital. So if you're recovering in a hotel room.....sorry!
One of the doctor's I've looked into gave you the option of recovering in the hospital rather than hotel for a day or two of recovery time for like an extra $100 per day.... You may be able to look into that with your Dr.
Hope that's all clear.... :)

The simplest answer is to choose a surgeon that has you in a hospital (rather than a clinic and recovery house or hotel****il you don't need much in the way of pain control. My surgeon (Dr Aceves) is one, Dr Alvarez is another.
I didn't need anything at all for pain by the time I was discharged from the hospital 3 days after my surgery.
