I have a question about pain meds. My questions is what is a typical prescription that is giving for pain? I am very sensitive with pain meds. I can tolerate Tylenol 3. Is that something that would help with the pain that is experienced with lap-band surgery?

i guess it all depends on your pain tolerance. i spent one night in the hospital and they were giving me meds thru an IV. i was giving a prescription of liquid vicodin for home and i used all of it.

I also got liquid Vicodin (Lortab) it worked well. I got 1 bottle and a refill for a 2nd. I used both. Tylenol 3 should be strong enough, but you'll want liquid if you can get it, rather than tablets.

Thank you for your replies. I called my local drugstore after reading your replies and found out that Tylenol 3 comes in a liquid form and they have it on hand so thats what I'm gonna have the doctor give me.
