Pain Medicine and dosage



Recommended Posts

I’m four days out and currently on Lortab 5’s. I’m still really uncomfortable. Especially at night! I feel like if I take two of them instead of one, that it could mean way too much Tylenol throughout the day. What pain medicines were you prescribed and what dosage? I’m calling my doctor tomorrow to see if I can change it since the pain is still pretty bad.

Ugh night time was the worst for me. Thankfully we have recliners and I slept in it for two weeks. I just said to my husband today “what do people do who don’t have a recliner and have to sleep flat” because the pain was unbearable even with my meds the first week when I was lying flat. I was perceived Oxycodine. I started out taking 10ml then went to 5ml. I stopped taking pain meds about 9 days post op. Good luck.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
