Well I did it. Had band revision to sleeve on tues. was given zero pain meds to leave with. Ortiz sed he had to fix hiatal hernia I had b4 he cud proceed. I have been in excruciating pain ever since. Plus. The nurses spoke zero English n I woke up in the nite one nite hurting n scared and found the nurse in a bed in one of the empty rooms. This seems shady to me Went back in crying n asked for pain meds. Got an anti inflammatory pill. One!!!

Where was your surgery performed?

The AMA standards are quite different than those abroad and sometimes things like this happen because of it. To be discharged without pain medication is completely inappropriate. If you live in the US I would recommend seeing your primary for pain Meds or going to the ER. You definitely need them. I know I was in so much pain I took them regularly for an entire week and I won't even take an aspirin.

Best of luck.
