Sweetie, you cannot compare cutting into your gut and mutilating your innards with nip/tuck surgery. I, too thought I would die from pain without happy drugs, but you will be surprised how little actual PAIN you will have.

Now, if like Kat and others you have quite a bit of lipo, you may need something more, and I believe you will be given more than tylenol and ibu. But without the lipo, you may not need it. I swear, I never thought I could get by without hard core pain meds, but I simply did not need them. (sleeping pills were another story...it was hard to sleep the first week or so...and he obliged.)

Dont be alarmed by this news...I was shocked when I heard that too...but the ibu was all i took and I often took it for my arthitis before feeling like I needed it for post-op pain.

REALLY!!

Ok Soapy I'll wait and see but I am having quite a bit of lipo on the thighs and stomach and then that fat will be inserted into my rear which I hear is a bit painful.

With lots of lipo and the fat graft, you just might need more than I did, so talk to him. If you are in need, I am sure he will give it to you., He is all about YOUR comfort.

I think I remember someone getting tramadol. I have heard good things about it too. Relax...it will be less painful than the WLS.

Keep us posted, I am looking forward to hearing about your experience.

Good luck!

Kat said he doesn't give narcotics outside of the clinic, she got Tramadol. I get migraines and have had Tramodal before, it just OK. Darn it.

that is where bringing your own from a previous whatever might come in handy. I didnt have the grafting or much lipo, so I really didnt need more, but man...it could be tough, I suppose.

Good luck, PWZ!!

Oxycodone/Percoset is what I had after my TT and what I will have after my breast lift.
