NMJG 1,266 Posted August 18, 2013 Has anyone else stopped pain meds early after surgery? I haven't had any since day of surgery. Should I be worried? I was never in much pain, just nauseated. But, that subsided too. Hi Cee, Yeah, I stopped the pain meds after Tuesday and used Tylenol for a couple of days. No pain meds now. My nausea is much better, too. 1 miss_cee85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

holidayexpressions 21 Posted August 18, 2013 Having a hard time sleeping using the washroom an keeping down my meds an Water surgery date was 8/15/13 I was sleeved on 8/15 at 8:00am. As soon as I woke up from surgery I was in pain. It was by far the worst pain I've ever had from the gas. I had the horrible pain for about 14 hours. I could drink anything until the next day at 2pm. I git no sleep in the hospital. I am out and at the hotel until I fly home tomorrow. I feel great today. Ate some yummy broth and did some shopping in Tijuana. Feeling pretty good. It's a rough start but gets so much better. 1 Dee White reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsRaychJ 18 Posted August 18, 2013 Hey all! Sleeved on the 15th and finally feel a little better. As soon as I got my drain and IV out I felt like a brand new person. The first hours after I woke up I was begging for meds or just to die. Now I'm pacing around the hotel room trying to get in liquids although since 6am I've been able to get down about 3 oz. Anyone else have to stand up to drink? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
