Yes I've had breast augmentation without any pain pills.. I took aleve for 2 days then I dident need anything afterward... I suppose this surgery is a little more intense... But hopefully I won't need them

I mean while you are in the hospital, immediately post operative. I also had breast augmentation at an out-patient facility, it was easy peasy. When I got home after the sleeve surgery I took medication 2 times and that was it. The first day however was a different story. You probably have a higher pain tolerance than I do, you're braver than me girl!!

Wow you only took your pain Medicine twice?? That's amazing! I hope It will be the same for me!

Honestly by the time I got home I felt like a champ. I started walking the day after I got home. The most pain I had was the gas, and the one thing that helps that is walking, But like I said the first day I felt like the little girl in the exorcist.

Lol... Yea I heard that walking is the best. Plus I don't want to have excess skin so walking may be my best friend lol

Oh no I don't want any narcotics! Just aleve

Aleve is an NSAID . You won't be able to have that after VSG!

Yeah the saggy skin thing worries me. my doctor say protein, excersise and weight resistance will really help.

Yes mine said the same thing. So I really plan on working very hard at it! And what 25 year old wouldn't want to be in a bikini :)
