Hi there, I have my band surgery August 13th. Can anyone tell me what type of pain meds do they give you post op and for home too? I don't do good with pain and am worried how I might react after surgery if it gets bad. Thanks xx

My doctor gave me liquid vicodin post op. I took that for about 3 days and then switched to regular Tylenol and did just fine.

I was on Lortab for 10 days

Loritab for first 48 hrs. After that, it was a piece of diet cake.

Some ppl have no pain after surgery. Try not to worry about the "what if's".

I too am concerned about pain meds. I've been reading some people have trouble getting pills down; I like the idea of liquid pain meds. I'm meeting with the surgeon on 6 August, that is just one more thing on the list to talk to him about. The list is getting longer and longer, I'm sure glad he's a patient man.

My doctor gave me a non narcotic anti- inflamitory that works amazing and didn't make me loopy

I got banded on Tuesday, he gave me liquid loritab. It's been controlling mine but I have been taking it every 5 hours instead of 6 to keep the pain from kicking in. I hope to back off the pain meds tomorrow.

Great thanks so much. I will try not think about it too much the what if's. I think everything runs through your mind just before the big day. I'm sure it'll be just fine!

Liquid Lortab for four days.

I was on Liquid Lortab as well. I only used it a couple times but then again I have a high tolerance for pain.

i had liquid hydrocodone I only took it three days then stopped. NO need to over do.

My surgeon gave me liquid Tylenol w codeine. My surgery is next friday.
