Hi ya'll,

 

I have been in severe pain since my surgery on May 6th and during my follow-up appointment today I was informed that the surgical center called in to my pharmacist, a prescription anti-inflammatory pill instead of an appropriate pain medicine. Basically, the pain medication that I have been taking over the last 10 days has started to errod my stomache lining when it is still healing from the lap-band surgery. They also refused to do a swallow today. I fear because it would just show the deterioration.

 

I am in tears right now thinking to myself - how did this happen? Why wasnt someone careful enough to call in the appropriate presciption for my post-op healing?

 

I am needing advise on how to proceed with this new found information. Any advise is appreciated.

:rolleyes2:

I agree. Speak with your doctor when it is all said and done, but in the meantime, get the right meds and get youself feeling better.
