Were You Prescribed Pills Post-Op...

[texas2penn 0]

I was reading the thread about taking pills post-op and wondered if there was anyone who was not on any medication pre-op and needed to be prescribed pills post-op. I know people who have GBS have to take supplements post-op and wondered if LBS patients have to do the same?

Still researching!!

All the prescriptions I was given were in the form of liquids I didn't have meds pre op, but was prescribed anti blood clotting meds injections my husband does for me, transdermal patch for nausea, and liquid vicodine for pain.

The only thing I was prescribed was an anti nausea medicine and Patches to prevent nausea. No other meds were given to me.

I was prescribed Vicodin, which I flushed down the toilet. Other than my allergy medicine, I have not taken any of my regular medicines since surgery (Lipitor and Cymbalta for generalized pain).

I am taking 2 chewable Tums for Calcium, one Gas-X chewable with each "meal", one Biotin tablet (a B Vitamin supplement), and 2 chewable multi-Vitamins per day.

I had no meds prescribed at all. I think they gave me a few pain pills to take home, but no prescription was needed.

I didn't have any either, and actually I didn't need any. Each person is different though, some do have a lot of pain and others don't have any. Good Luck and may you be the lucky one!:party:

Good luck researching... Best thing I have ever done for myself besides education.... Nothing was prescribed for me but I was given some pain pills and drops when released from hospital. Go for it!

I was prescribed Ursodiol a gallstone dissolving agent (?) which really surprised me. I am to take 2 a day for 6 months. Also Pantoprazole for acid reflux, and Scopolamine transderm Patches for nausea if needed.

I did not take any medications prior to surgery. After surgery, for 6 months, I need to take Uso Forte. This is a pill my doc gives anyone who still has their gall bladder. Studies show that without this pill, it is likely that you could need to have your gall bladder remooved.

I also need to take chewable Vitamins.

Hope this helps.
