sarahc27 5 Posted July 25, 2013 Hi there, I have my band surgery August 13th. Can anyone tell me what type of pain meds do they give you post op and for home too? I don't do good with pain and am worried how I might react after surgery if it gets bad. Thanks xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sp70 193 Posted July 25, 2013 My doctor gave me liquid vicodin post op. I took that for about 3 days and then switched to regular Tylenol and did just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddysgram 6,159 Posted July 26, 2013 Loritab for first 48 hrs. After that, it was a piece of diet cake. Some ppl have no pain after surgery. Try not to worry about the "what if's". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deweydoer 111 Posted July 26, 2013 I too am concerned about pain meds. I've been reading some people have trouble getting pills down; I like the idea of liquid pain meds. I'm meeting with the surgeon on 6 August, that is just one more thing on the list to talk to him about. The list is getting longer and longer, I'm sure glad he's a patient man.

michpell39 399 Posted July 26, 2013 My doctor gave me a non narcotic anti- inflamitory that works amazing and didn't make me loopy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christy40 3 Posted July 26, 2013 I got banded on Tuesday, he gave me liquid loritab. It's been controlling mine but I have been taking it every 5 hours instead of 6 to keep the pain from kicking in. I hope to back off the pain meds tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarahc27 5 Posted July 26, 2013 Great thanks so much. I will try not think about it too much the what if's. I think everything runs through your mind just before the big day. I'm sure it'll be just fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
