lodagoda 4 Posted December 14, 2016 Don't be shy to ask for more painkillers. You can have patient controlled analgesia if you ask for more analgesia. I still have severe stomach spasms and tightness that comes and goes pretty bad with every sip of liquid. But it goes away after 5min. Didn't try anything other than Water and apple juice mixed. It will get better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yardsleever 81 Posted December 14, 2016 I'm still in pain ughh Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Oh sunsetsue so sorry you are in pain. If you are still in the hospital, ask the nurse for pain medication. Ask for GasX also, as the pain may be gas related. Don't sit in pain. I came home yesterday, and they gave me oxycodone to take home. I did not much meds so I am just doing Tylenol.
