Question About Codeine



Recommended Posts

Yes, you can have it. Just make sure the codeine doesn't constipate you.

We are given Loratab in the hospital and that codiene.

Feel better!

My doctor prescribed me Tylenol with codeine to take home with me from the hospital. Safe but could upset your stomach if taken without food. And there's the Constipation thing.

I was given codeine in the hospital and for post surgery pain management when I got home. Only thing to watch for is Constipation.< /p>

So I went to the ER and they gave me a gastric cocktail whatever that is and sent me home. I have had the flu for 3 days now and am miserable. I am still in so much pain. I live in a small town with a small hospital and they don't even have an ultrasound machine. So they told me that it's just a bug. But I've never had pain like this with a bug. Could I have a leak at 6 wks out?? What are the symptoms? Could it be y gallbladder? I'm going to call my surgeon in the am but I guess I'm just going to suffer til then.

Whoa. A lot can change overnite!! DON'T wait to call your surgeon. They should have someone on call 24/7! It's part of the package of being a doctor!! Who knows what you've got! Could be sore muscles from coughing, gallbladder, a tear, a leak....THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IS TO CALL YOUR SURGEON. NOW. :-)

We yell because we care. We are all in this together.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
