hi elaine and welcome aboard good luck with your consultation i just had open rny and i was on morphine while i was in the hospital -- i was then sent home with percocet for the pain -- the pain should only last a couple of days roberta

Hello, Congratulations on your consult date. Who is your Dr? As for your pain meds, only the Dr. can answer that. Good luck, Bonnie

Dont worry about the pain they give you morphine you wont even feel anything by the evening of the surgery I didnt need it anymore. They also give you a prescription for home I didnt have to use. Harris

Elaine~ Don't worry about the pain, it's really not that bad. I was suprised, really! I would say on a scale of 1-10, immediately after surgery (when they were giving me morphine every 3 hours by injection) it was about a 2, maybe a 3? It was never that bad. I got percocet to bring home, I never took one for the pain, I took one to help me sleep the first few nights... the pain was never that bad. I got a bottle of 30, I took 3 of them. It's not that bad. I am not a big fan of pain either! Don't let the fear of the pain stop you. It's nothing. Michelle Brennan
