After my sleeve in Mexico, I thought my pain was really well controlled except for break through pain the second night. They bring pain meds on a schedule and have an order for extra Torodol, but that didn't help. They called the doc on call who ordered some morphine, but it took almost 3 hours to get it from the pharmacy. Not sure why that was. My surgery wasn't done until 7pm, and I walked most of the 1st post op day. Must have just overdone it. But overall, I thought they did great with controlling my pain. Don't assume that they think you are an opiate junky. Culturally I've found that in Mexico they don't ever like to give you a negative answer and would rather just ignore the question.
