I'm ok with the medicines during surgery I'm just worried about needing them post-op. My doctor is prescribing a liquid pain medicine I'm just hoping I won't need it. Can I just take Tylenol post-surgery?
-
I hate to latch on to Bob's post. Please forgive me Bob. Did anyone have to use the prescription pain medicine or did they just take Tylenol? I really don't do well with prescription pain medicine it makes me very sick so I would like to avoid it if I could.

I’m doing self-pay ESG so I knew it was going to be expensive. I had to change my mind set to talk myself into the surgery. At first I thought there is no freaking way I’m spending that much money. Then I thought but I pay more for my car and in the long run this is for my health so why wouldn’t I make an investment in me. Now I just go through mini heart attacks when everything gets expensive for this surgery. 😃 -

No you should brag. If my medicines were $40 I would brag and choregraph a victory dance. My doctor warned me it would be expensive so I was prepared. My biggest fear now is when I take the Emend it will slip out of my hand and fall into the AC vent. That would be just my luck. -

Yes the horribly expensive Emend. I found a GoodRX coupon which bring the price down to $120 for 2 pills. -
Done Deal.

I’m so glad you are doing well KRush. It’s encouraging that you’re not in too much pain. I’m 2 weeks out and my biggest concern now is not having coffee. Yikes! -

Good luck to you too. Hopefully today will be the last day of misery for you and each new day it gets a bit easier on you. -
Good Luck! Fingers crossed for you.

Lord I hope this is the case with my surgeon because I can't survive without coffee. My family will ban me from functions. My priest will kick me out of Mass. There is just no way I can be a tolerable human without coffee.

ESG 4 weeks post-op and weight stall
Marisol Unda replied to yara.dabbagh's topic in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Forum
Hello Yara. I am having my ESG on Aug 24th. Although I don't have a shared experience with you I just want to let you know that everything I have read says the 3-4 week stall is real and can be a real mind bender. Please don't beat yourself up for a few minor slip ups. We're all human and your journey has just begun. A stall is called a stall because it's temporary. You got this. -
I just bought some Premier Protein Shakes at Sam's that were really affordable. It's a Walmart company so they probably have it there too. I also found clear fruit flavored protein drinks there. I've heard they are not the greatest but I got some for post surgery so I could get in my protein.

Thank you and congratulations to you. I'm starting to get super excited like it's my birthday. I survived the disgusting barium so I have a day of clear liquids the day before my surgery and I'm good to go.....Ok gotta admit I just made myself nervous again typing all of that out -
Had my surgery 3 weeks ago.
Marisol Unda replied to mayravgonzalez's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I will pray for you to heal and the journey to get easier. I have no practical advice because I have not had my surgery yet. I just wanted to let you know that someone is listening and rooting for you.
