Surgery Tomorrow & I Took A Dose Of Pain Meds

[chele367 81]

Will my surgery be canceled? Under goal weight however. My doc took me off pain relievers my back was killing me BAD. My other choice was Advil and that is a real no!

What type of med was it? Own up to taking it. Some meds (asprin, NSAIDs) can cause bleeding issues.

Definitely tell them in the morning. Like daniotra said, some pain meds can cause bleeding issues. Or they may want to adjust the preanesthetic drugs they give you. Or the pain meds may be out of your system and it won't be a big deal. But your doctor took you off the meds for a reason, so definitely let them know you took some.

It is very important that you notify them before surgery.

I wish you had called your surgeon before taking anything.

The fact that you didn't call your surgeon/nurse to check raises the question of whether you are sabotaging yourself, maybe you're not 100% mentally ready/comfortable about having the surgery tomorrow?

They might have been able to give you some surgery-compliant options for pain relief.

If you don't tell them tomorrow, you are risking your health and possibly your life. Tell them immediately, bring the bottle to show them exactly what you took.

The oral Tylenol w/ Lortab not that much. Thank you for your responses. Did not take meds that cause bleeding.

Thank you for checking they found a hernia and repaired it. Then as I came out of surgery I vomited. Blood pressure was real high. Next day was stable walking, sipping using bathroom. Home and sore getting the surgical gas out. Last day of liquid diet. Now just carrying for new pouch.
