He gives iv meds and believe me that's all you will need they bring them in like clock work you go home with pain meds antibotics and and antacid for you stomach meal plan Water and gatorade he told me he removes 80% he does 5 incisions on top the stomach which made bending over really easy they are really small mine healed quickly... The meds made me sleepy so I didn't want any but they come in like clock work with them.... Hope this helps
