Surgery in am

@@RNYGal I am sitting here in shock after reading your post.

How is that even legal? How does someone not "believe" in helping his patients pain level? What happened to do no harm? You body needs to heal, and part of that is staying on top of that pain so your body can rest and relax.

I am so sorry and send such positive healing thoughts your way. How brave you are. I don't know if it's feasible but is it too late to visit another Bariatric center? Did you know this going in? Is it written down somewhere, that he doesn't "believe" in using narcotics?

I just feel so terrible, that you have had to go through this.

Mine does not do the heavy narcotics either but did do toradol, which has helped me greatly! You just can't have it too often! Has to veggie that last dies but I really needed. Surgery yesterday hoping to go home tmrw!

I honestly don't think I could have done this without the pain pump, and vicodin at home now. I'm in pain, not horrible now, but still, to rest well, I need pain relief. Lucky I didn't have your Dr. @@red37 I'm so allergic to Toradol, I stop breathing.

Best of luck to you! Hope you get to go home tomorrow.

Thank the good Lord I'm already on opiate pain medication. My Dr may have issues, I don't know, but my pain management Dr doesn't.

I'm doing pretty well today so far. I've been up and moving quite a bit and not really tired today. I'm just taking it one day at a time. I also have an 18 month old so he doesn't give me much down time!

Yes, Carol thank goodness. And after reading it I was obviously a little out of it writing that post! Still in hospital, boo. Been very nauseous and in the bathroom a lot. Hoping to go home tomorrow! Incision pain is worst right at the belly button!
