I was banded on July 6th. How long did you all take prescription pain meds? Were you able to take pills? Does it seem like you can feel your throat and stomach constantly when u swallow?

I took them religiously for the first couple of days in liquid form but them weaned myself to Tylenol only, which I cut in half. I was anxious to get off the codeine and actually felt better.

I only took my pain meds the day I came home from surgery. I went to Aleve the next day and was completely off any pain med within 48 hours of surgery. I do not know if this is the norm, for me it was not. I hope you are feeling better!

I didn't take any pain meds at home, although I was given liquid pain meds. I was lucky when it came to pain I guess. I did have a lot of nausea though. I also had headaches due to lack of caffeine.

I was told I can't ever take Alieve again. Too hard on my new stomach but it's my pain relief of choice! I had lots if nausea the first 24 hours and a horrible caffeine withdrawal headache. My doctor told me I could have a cup to help and it definitely did!

I took liquid pain meds until they ran out. At

First it was around the clock and then it was only in the evening bc by then I was usually sore from the days events. Tylonal doesn't work for me, but apparently that is all I can have!

They gave me oxicodone to take, but I didn't take any. I took Tylenol a few times but that's it.

Thanks so much for all the feed back!!! It's day three for me and Tylenol seems to be doing the job!

After three days I no longer needed my Tylenol. Still had slight pain but it was manageable.
