Someone please help I am almost 4 weeks part op and I just went to the dentist and im having horrible pain from the procedure. Seeing as its christmas I can't call the clinic so I need to take something! I know I can take tylonol but what about advil for the swelling? Thanks

What did you have done? Have you tried anbesol to put directly on the area? I use the children's liquid tylenol (I take 4 tsp for a dose). For me liquids work quicker. You could also call the pharmacist-our Walgreens is open 24 hrs and see if they can recommend something. Just let them know you had sleeve surgeryj and see if you can get it in a liquid or that the pills are small enough to swallow.

I was released to take Children's liquid Advil at 6 weeks post. If you take Advil, make sure you have something on your stomach be it creamy Soup or yogurt. I take NSAIDS and have since having my sleeve without issue, but I always take it with something on my stomach and always make sure I have my PPI on board as well.
