Taking aleve after surgery is not a great idea. It is an antiinflammatory and they are very hard on the stomach. I am on day 6. On day 4 I wanted to die and completely regretted having surgery. It is still a struggle, I am tired, sore, etc, but it is SOO much better in just the 2 days. I was given liquid lortab, hycosamine (Levsin), famotidine and zofran for nausea. The Levsin has been my friend. Helps the gas bubbles a lot!
