Tylenol extra strength for me too. I get bad cramps too (I have endometriosis) and it gave me some relief (until it wore off then I'd take 2 more).

We aren't allowed to take Midol or Pamprin after surgery??

I'm just wondering, because Midol is my savior..my first day of my period is horrible, with cramps, goosebumps, and lower back pain.

From my knowledge, there are a few variations of Midol; some are NSAID and some aren't. This can easily be found out by checking out the bottle when you're at the store. I believe Pamprin is an NSAID but again most of the meds say right on the bottle very clearly if they are an NSAID. Hope this helps.

When it comes down to the time of the month I am a rule breaker...I have a bottle of Midol by my side. If I am out of Midol its Pamprin. I get really, really bad cramps from my PCOS and horrible back pain from the period of death so the Midol helps a lot to which Tylenol doesn't help one bit.

      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.
