Hello, I am threes days out from my sleeve. I was given liquid hydrocodone. 1tsp / 4x daily. I don't like to take pain meds unless I absolutely have to, but this soreness is a little too much to bare at the moment. I am walking, getting my fluids and taking my Vitamins. I was just wondering if it is normal to need refills on meds or if it is ok to ask for something stronger if it is not working for you. I do understand being sore comes with the turf, but, it should be tolerable! What types of meds worked best for you?! Did anybody need refills so soon?! Thanks!!

Thank you! I just spoke with them. I was completely honest and told them it was not strong enough for me. They told me to double the dose, I let them know I have already been doing so. Dr. Is in surgery all day today so the nurse is hoping she will get a response to help keep get through my weekend! Thank you! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much. I am doing well. Just very sore.. trying to walk as much as possible. Congratulations on your continued success as well the great tips!! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I am sorry to hear that. I think it is safe to say all of us have probably endured some sort of depression due the size we were, even without the bullying from others. Go in there with a great attitude and your head held high. They usually only are able to know what you tell them! Just go with your gut and keep focused on what it is you want... a healthier life! Good Luck! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations! I was just sleeved today. I am taking the advice I have heard from everybody and walk, walk, walking when I can. Of course I am sip , sip , sippin too. Best of luck to you in your journey Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

Wow. 25?!. My psych evaluation also included a "personally test" that asks the same questions over and over but in a different context. The test was also making sure I wasn't depressed, suicidal or angry with the world. It was pretty smooth sailing. You will be just fine Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I was just informed this morning my EKG showed possible heart branch blockage and that I had to see a Cardiologist to give me surgery clearance. The nurse said this was nothing to be worried about, that it happens often and already rescheduled my surgery for a week later than planned I am a nervous wreck. Has anybody experienced an abnormal ekg showing heart branch blockage? Will I be cleared for surgery after one appointment with a cardiologist? What are the chances of me not being cleared for surgery? Will I have to reschedule again. I was heartbroken to hear that news this morning. I have been looking forward to this day for so long. To think I may have a heart problem that will postpone or not make me eligible for WLS is crushing. My anxiety about waiting a week for more answers is becoming too much to bare. Please help!
