I was gave Roxicet for my pain yesterday and all it does is make me sleepy. I am calling the Dr when he gets into the office and going to have him call in something else. My pain levels are the same before and after I take the med. It is not really painful just very uncomfortable. What pain meds did you have the best result with?

I am just waiting for the pharmacy to call to go pick up my new meds. I was prescribed tylenol 3. I know it works for me. Well it did when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I know to stay away from the Percocet family unless I am having trouble sleeping.

i was just banded yesterday and i can have an ounce of liquid every 15 minutes. I sip the ounce and it lasts about 5 minutes. The gas is almost all gone now. My heating pad has really helped. I hope you find what helps you.

How was your surgery? Mine was easy through I think I need a New pain pill. I am on a Percocet and it just knocks me out for a few hours. Are you doing ok? -

Glad you are doing well Pura. I am so glad you didn't have to wait any longer for your surgery. I went back for prep at 6:40 this morning and then I was put under a few minutes to 8. All my incisions are on the upper part of my tummy which is nice for wearing more clothes, but no bra for a while lol. -
Thanks Sarah. I have been doing a little walking, but mostly I have been on the couch with a heating pad on my back and shoulder. It is feeling a little better now. I am glad that my meds make me sleepy. I had a 2 hour nap and that really helped.I plan on walking in the yard tomorrow, since it was not possible today.

Back home and not doing bad. I have a little pain but it is manageable. Sipping my liquids every 15 minutes. I woke up from surgery starving,but had to do the swallow test before I was able to have some chicken broth. You know you are starving when you want more of that nasty drink for the swallow test. lol -
Surgery went well. I am back home now. I have some pain in my shoulder and from the gas. My incisions are not really to bad now that I am not being rocked in the car. I am drinking my ounce of fluids every 15 minutes and will be walking as much as possible.

Back at home now. Doing well. I have some pain in shoulder and from the gas. Will be walking around house as much as possible.

Congrats Debbie. I hope I do as well as you are. -
Hi Everyone, My name Amy. I am 32 years old. I will be banded tomorrow. I live in Clinton, Missouri with my son. I am a full time student working on degrees in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. Sitting in front of a computer for several hours a day has not helped me lose weight of course, but now that I am nearing the end I do not have as many hours of homework. 11 more classes to go so getting banded now is the perfect time.
