When Did You Stop The Pain Meds?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was Monday, I went home Wednesday and quit my pain and nausea meds today (thurs.) because I don't need them. My stomach is sore but I am not in pain. When did you stop your pain/and or nausea meds? Also I am having to crush my other medications and they are awful to get down an a clear liguid diet. Any suggestions on how to get them down?

Thank you!

Day two home... no nausea, only sporadic pain... except the last couple of nights... cannot find a comfortable, pain free position to sleep... :-) All in due time I guess...

Surgery on a Friday, only needed nausea and pain meds for two days. By that Monday I could function without them.

I cut my Multivitamin in half, but I'm able to swallow the rest of my meds with no problem.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
