Hi All! 3 More Days! Teeth Chattering!

[Lebim 381]

Surgery was today All went well. Mine was revision from lap band that was removed in 2010. When doc went in my liver was adhered to my stomach a bit so surgeon had to fix that. She released to lap band flap and was able to do the surgery. So hard to sleep because pain meds are now giving me symptoms of sleep apnea.

Ask for dilotted maybe?

Pain management is important for healing. That being said there are allot of options to help manage it. If one isn't working how u like then ask for a different option. In the hospital morphine, dilaudid and fentanyl are big ones. Don't be afraid to ask for a different one.

Typically if your having sleep apnea in relation to the pain med your snowed. What I mean is your likely getting too much and it's suppressing your resp drive. Lower the dose or ask for something else because whatever your on your taking too much an it's dropping your resp drive.

Pain is a symptom it should be treated and managed. Advocate for yourself!
