Hello everyone out there in WLS land. Like many of you, I also had a horrible lap band experience and am now converting to the sleeve next week. I have a lot of worry about the level of pain that's involved with recovery. I'm usually tolerant of pain but post-surgical pain--not so much. I don't tolerate narcotic pain meds well at all yet that's probably what I will be prescribed. I've heard liquid tylenol is good --- any suggestions?
