Pain Management - Mexico :)



Recommended Posts

So I am going to have quite a long flight back post -op, anyone have experience with the OCC and pain management? Did you get a prescription? What was the drug? Or did you just go to a pharmacy and buy something OTC??

I was not given pain medication after surgery. I took liquid tylenol when I needed it and it helped just fine, the most pain I had was from the gas and I used gas x strips for that. good luck

I am recovery right now and I cant imagine having to fly right now. I had a 10min drive home and I found that hard. I was prescribed OxyContin but they make me sick so I haven't touch them.

try liquid tylenol and deep breathing for relaxation, the first 24 hours is the worst.

I had my surgery at the OCC and if I remember correctly, they give you lots of stuff for pain and gas. I think most people have more problems with gas than pain, because the incisions are so small.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
