I am doing my research for the gastric sleeve in Mexico and I only have a few concerns. My most major concern is the pain. I am very sensitive to pain and have a high tolerance to pain medications due to chronic back pain and arthritis. I truly do not see myself getting surgery and taking Tylenol or Aleve a day later. Due to my pain, I take those daily. Does anyone have experience with a doctor giving them something stronger for the pain for a few days after the surgery? Yes, I understand there will be gas pain etc., Can anyone recommend a surgeon that is more understanding of chronic pain?
