So, my surgery is Monday, and the medical team claims I only need childrens tylenol for pain after surgery? Are you kidding!?!?! Gimme some vicodin! Makes no sense to me

oh no, I had the good stuff. Didn't need it around the clock but was good to know that I had it. Good luck.

Maybe they will give you a prescription for liquid vicodin. If you get one, please fill it as a precaution. Tylenol is not strong enough.

Make sure to talk to them again.. thats pretty crazy.. I had liquid oxicodone or something..

This is my first day post op and trust me Tylenol would not have cut it girl. Tell your surgeon when he comes to talk to you prior to surgery or the anesthesiolgist.

Whatever they gave me the day of surgery i cried so hard they were like u at your max worte me a script for lorect sucked i cried two days but guess what as of today i was out n about feeling good washed my hair cleaned drove xmas shop i feel greatttt a lil swollen still at first i couldnt eat nor drink Water was my only now i can enjoy. I get a stretch pain i guess this is where my port is when i bend a certain way or when i belch i get the instant sholder shock but its the norm day five much much better i rarely eat but tmrw i will push for my orders

IM MY OWN MOTIVATION

Ridiculous, I would like to do major surgery on you physician and only give him or her Tylenol. I would discuss this with them again and insist on medication.

I only had liquid tylenol. You'll make it

Also prescription pain killers constipate you. Just make sure to take it on a schedule.

I had liquids Tylenol at home. I did have prescription pain meds, too, but they do constipate you. Ask for some, but use it with caution, only as needed. But get up and walk ASAP. It will help the pain, and gas pain. GAS pain is the worst of all. (at least was for me)! The more walking you do, the less pain. So walk, walk, walk!!!Best wishes, Karen

I was banded on the 12/12 and still getting gas pain. How long dix gours last bron

I found that the gas pains came worse about day 5. That seems to be when the pain in teh left shoulder started. I found that walking helped move the gas. if too bad, try Gas-x strips! best wishes, Karen

I took my painkillers for 1 day just because I was afraid of the pain that I might have, it never came. I can honestly say I didn't have one stitch of pain from the second I walked out of the clinic. I was off all pain medication on day 2. Everyone is different, and even though I didn't get pain, my dr did prescribe me 30 oxycodone (I used 4) - so I am sure he was anticipating something. Personally I would ask for something as backup in case the tylenol doesn't cut it.

good luck.

I was given a bottle of childrens liquid tylenol but I didnt end up using it. I didnt need any painkillers after my surgery. Guess I was one of the lucky ones. Barely had any gas either.

Well you are a lucky one

Well you are a lucky one

No way! I was given oxycodone to take every 4 hours. I'm not a big fan of pain pills, but if ya need them, ya need them! I think I took 2 pills the day after surgery and then I took one at bedtime for the next 3 nights. Didn't need anymore after that. tell your surgeon you'd like to have some just in case.
