Hydrocodone after surgery???

[thechatrooper 0]

I have heard some people say that it's bad to take tylenol & asprin after surgery. I get severe migranes and regularly take Hydrocodone 7.5/750...would this be included as a drug to stay away from??

Whenever I take my pills... I usually only take 1/2 at a time and chew them before swollowing them. What complications does taking Hydrocodone (vicodin) after lapband surgery cause ??

Thanks!

Most of the medicines you are to stay away from cause irratation to the lining of your stomach... leading to errosion.

You may want to talk to your band Dr, to see what s/he thinks.

My surgeon gave me liquid hydrocodone to take for pain after surgery.

also, you might want to take the meds with milk (if you can) since that will help coat the pouch. One of the other things to do is to drink a large glass of Water after taking the meds to help wash them out and down.

I break them in half but I don't chew them. (shudders at the thought)

I got liquid hydrocodone before my banding & althought didn't need it that much, I was nice to know I had it, & when I used it, was great. It was also very useful for the plane ride home. Maybe that's why I don't remember the trip home!
