Pain Killers In Mexico



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

So I had a question about pain medications in/from Mexico.

For those of you that had your surgery in Mx did your doc give you a prescription to pick up pain medication there? What about acid reducers?

I am a student so I don't really have a PCP, I just have emergency care and spontaneous appointments at student health care. So I don't have any one here to get medication from. Or even remotely cheap. My copay is125 for all prescriptions :

Thanks!

I'm not sure about Mexico, but I had to pay for my own pain meds (crappy insurance) and it was like...4 bucks for the bottle of liquid vicodin. It's pretty cheap stuff. That was at CVS.

When I was there with Dr Kelly, he supplied Antibiotics, pain meds, and acid reducer for us to take home, although I didn't need the pain meds. I'm sorry I don't recall what the pain med was called, but it isn't the strong kind and they give you a few days worth on it. I'm not sure if they still do this with all the changes, but I am guessing they would. You can shoot an email off to him to ask him.

in Mexico, the doc gave us 1 month of acid reducer and gave us a script for pain and additional acid reducers. the pharmacy was directly across street, we ladies took a field trip over...I had no pain so I for went the pain drugs. Dr. Aceves was my doc....Awesome

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
