Bringing Pills back After Surgery?

[DSMCasey 15]

Hello,

Wife and I going May 28th for our Sleeves. Just wanting to know if anyone had any trouble bringing back any meds they gave you. I read one review where the reviewer specifically said "Bring back all the pain pills you will think you need, just in case you need them to be comfortable". That seems like great advice, but I really don't want to spend any time in a mexican jail (or american for that fact). So what's the scoop?

Thanks!

They gave me pain meds for 5 days. The first day is the worst and it gets better each day....

If you have a prescription then I doubt you would have any problems. Just keep the pills in the bottle labelled with your name and keep a copy of the prescription with you. Don't mix pills into one bottle.

I brought all of mine back just fine. I had them filled at a pharmacy in Mexico and I had 3 different prescriptions. I never took the pain meds though as they made me sick.

I had tons of meds with us (American prescriptions bottles) and new ones from the doc and pharmacy in Mexico and no problem at all coming back across the border. I did however have the one page prescription from the doc in Mexico. Safe not sorry! I watch Locked Up Abroad.... No thank you!!!
