Zoriah I was sleeved in 11/19 in MX...I was sent home with a sublingual called Supradol...I didn't find it to be very effective...thank goodness I didn't need it right after surgery as they were great with controlling the pain before I left the OR and thereafter! I ended up taking some Tylenol three days after surgery to help ease the gas pains...although I walked quite a bit, I found the Tylenol to be extremely effective!

When I was sleeved last year with Dr Ortiz in TJ I was given Tramadol (sp??). It worked fine and was no problem taking across the border.

For those who may have noticed taht I am scheduled on 12/6 for a sleeve, it is because there was too much scar tissue from my band and the sleeve ended up being larger than it should. I have lost almost no weight in the year I have had the sleeve.

Dr Ortiz has agreed to do another surgery. I dont see it as his fault, just the scar tissue. He told me this is only the second time he has had to do this in all the time he has been doing sleeves.

Bayareanan I pray all goes well! Dr Ortiz performed my sleeve as well...love him! I think I may have a crush!!! Lol

Thank u ladies!! I'll be sure to tell husband, he was the one concerned about the pain meds. Just paranoid. Lol.

I was given supradol. I didn't need it after discharge but I took one at the airport just in case.
