I had my surgery June 3rd and was sent home the next day. I was given pain meds while in the hospital but my doctor told me once home to use Tylenol or Advil. Has anyone else experianced this. Thanks

Yes...i was told to take tylenol only!

They prescribed me liquid hdrocodeine tylenol for pain...i was in the hospital on wed released Thursday..Im thankful that I didnt need the pain meds, NO PAIN i was sore when i woke up each morning but once I walked around the soreness was gone!

Hmmm. I get sleeved on 6-11-14 and they are not releasing me till 6-13-14. I wish I could go home sooner!

I was sent home with a pain med prescription..I used the pain meds for 3 days, and didn't need anything after that, including any over-the-counter pain meds.

I'm surprised about the Advil. Most surgeons say NO Advil.

I never needed pain meds after surgery, so if you're feeling good, then you don't need it.

Advil upsets the stomach lining so this is sulu reprising to hear. I was told not to take that, aspirin or ibuprofen at all prior to f after the surgery. Tylenol only. And the walking helped more than any pain medication.

I'm 5 days out . My doctor gave me liquid hydrocodone. And told me to take children's Motrin with it . He said that it would help with the pain . And it has help me . But I do know a lot of people say there doctor said not to take it. So I really don't know.

I am a nurse. I have taken care of many patients who have the surgery we always tell them no Aspirin and no Advil. It puts you at risk for bleeding.

I agree with sa1976. Motrin can cause stomach bleeding. And with those staples internal your asking for problems. I'm also in nursing and I was advised against it. Even weeks after my surgery. I'm 9 weeks out and have lost 40 pounds.

I have stop taking it . I go in the morning for my check up. Thanks to y'all for letting me know .

No problem. We have to look out for each other.
