So the good stuff is running really low I thought I could skip a dose last night while I slept woke up 3hrs later (7hrs since last dose) in awesome amount of pain. I don't really want to call for a new order of lortab since I plan to be back at work monday. I also had a large hernia repair besides being banded weds. So I'm wondering which kind of liquid pain meds are you all taking over the counter? Ibuprofen or acetaminophen?? I thought ibuprofen would be better since it will address the inflammation but wondered which of the 2 OTC's you all have had success with relieving the discomfort?

If you are gonna use something over the counter, use acetaminophen. My surgeon says no NSAIDS, which ibuprofen is... he said that NSAIDS are bad for the stomach lining and can harm the area around the band.. but... that being said, I would check with your surgeon and see what He says about NSAIDS.

Thanks! My surgeon just called me back & said they actually made a mistake on my Rx! (Both on my discharge instructions & the rx bottle) No wonder I was feeling soo good I've been takin 2x the dose he says he ordered so I've gone through the bottle quicker than I was suppose to. So once I'm out he says he'll order more. But he agreed no NSAIDs post op!

I was using liquid tylenol for adults. I thought it really helped. They have a vanilla and cherry flavor. I like the cherry though. :thumbup:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
