Xombae 113 Posted November 7, 2016 I just got sleeved 3 days ago and still suffering from pain. My pulse is still pretty high. I was prescribed liquid Lortab and I'm already almost out. Not sure if I have a really low pain tolerance and I'm being a big baby, or if I think it's bad because it's still sore. the only thing I can say is it's worse, for me, than getting all my wisdom teeth pulled.

LittleLizzieLilliput 919 Posted November 7, 2016 I had the sleeve, gallbladder removed and hernia repair. My recovery is taking a while. I was giving liquid Hydrocodone w/acetaminophen (vicodin) and that worked quite well. Liquid Tylenol works as well but only on the minor pains after the big post-surgical pains simmered down.

woo woo 872 Posted November 7, 2016 You can get adult Tylenol liquid. It works really well. I switched to it exclusively after like 2 days on narcotic. Honestly I think oxy is overkill. Maybe ask for liquid norco? Less addictive and works well. They carry the adult tylenol liquid at CVS.

Aggiemae 739 Posted November 8, 2016 All pain medication has the potential for addiction if you abuse it including tramadol. On the other hand...Pain control is essential for healing. Take the pain meds at the dose that relieves your pain and taper down as the pain subsidence likely this will be a week or two at the most. Remember to take a stool softener daily as long as you are on them. You aren't going to become junkie taking short term post operative medication. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggiemae 739 Posted November 8, 2016 Can this pain be compared to childbirth? not even close. I am 13 days out and still have a bit of incision pain. I found that wearing a compression top 24/7 worked far better that narcotic pain meds by day 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggiemae 739 Posted November 8, 2016 Honestly I think oxy is overkill. Well...maybe for you but it's unreasonable to make a blanket statement like this. I was on morphine for 24 hours post op because I woke up from surgery literally screaming from pain. BWT I gave birth to a full term breech baby without any medication as I am hardly a pain light weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woo woo 872 Posted November 8, 2016 Sorry, no. It is actually completely reasonable for me to politely express my own opinion. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pamva81 3 Posted November 8, 2016 I never felt any pain. They gave me pain medication through IV and I did not need anything after I got out of the hospital because I was never in any pain. I did not even have gas pains that a lot of people talk about. Everyone is different. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
