Post Surg Pain Meds Question

[shellynaylor 0]

Hello everyone out there in WLS land.

Like many of you, I also had a horrible lap band experience and am now converting to the sleeve next week. I have a lot of worry about the level of pain that's involved with recovery. I'm usually tolerant of pain but post-surgical pain--not so much. I don't tolerate narcotic pain meds well at all yet that's probably what I will be prescribed. I've heard liquid tylenol is good --- any suggestions?

Most people don't really have a lot of pain with this surgery. Ultram is a non narcotic pain med. I didn't even use any pain medication and I've heard of a lot of people who use liquid tylenol.

i never took pain meds because nothing seems to help me.

but the truth is i wasn't in pain when i came home, like the lovely Oregondaisy said

btw - doesn't oregondaisy look wonderful after losing 100+ lbs.

good luck on your pending WLS
