Pain and I are not friends. While on the hospital the nurses kept asking if I wanted more morophine. I got my last dose on Day 2 and gave not had to get my pain meds at CVS. As a matter of fact I called ad told them I would not be picking up the prescription. I don't know what contributed to my minimal pain but I thank God. I guess because I still sleep with a CPAP machine, I don't feel much pain in my deep sleep. The only pains have now are gas pains and I walk those out. I don't have stitches Dr. used Derma Bond so no pain there.

Yay! I wasn't much for the pain meds either. Didn't take anything but ibuprofen once I came home. Good luck with continuing your quick recovery!

I'm not sure if it's an all doctor kind of deal, but I'm not allowed to take ibuprofen or any anti-inflamatories at all. They said they could cause ulcers. That just caught my eye! lol I strictly take tylenol.

NSAIDs are an absolute no-no after gastric surgery. While I was in the hospital, following my surgery, I had a roommate who was in recovering from her THIRD experience with a marginal ulcer....the result of having taken 2 Advil!! Tylenol is fine, but all NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, etc) are a quick ticket to a GI bleed, the ER, and additional surgery to repair. If your doctor tells you otherwise, get a second opinion before you take any more. Best of health to you!

This is awesome to hear. I have bad reactions to the heavy duty pain meds so I'd like to avoid them as much as possible.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
