I broke my arm Jan 20 and had surgery the 21st to put in a steel plate and twelve screws. I have taken generic percocet and lortab, no problems swallowing them at all. Told the emergency room and my surgeon that I have a lapband. My question is does anyone know if these drugs will bother my band? I know it is kind of late to be asking that now, but today is the first day I can actually type.

This morning I have a sore muscle kind of feeling in the band area. My wrists are starting to hurt too, my husband thinks all of this is coming to my attention because I am taking much less pain medication and my arm is not bothering me as much so other parts of my body are starting to show their signs from the fall. It has been a week and a half, can I still have aches and pains from then.

I'm going for an adjustment in two days so I will of course discuss it with them when I get there. Just wanted to know what you all thought.

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled 1 week after getting my band - I was fine with the meds and obviouslly with the liquid diet, LOL

Call your doc when in doubt, but my guess is that you're a-ok!

those meds are tylenol based... not ibuprofin... so should be just fine. Very important to not take any additional tylenol while on those pain killers though...

I was given lortab after my band surgery so that one should be ok.
