Hello, had my surgery 02/03 and lucky me (not), I was on my period during my hospital stay (but no cramps bc of the pain meds). Not sure how I survived the pre-op diet and PMS but anyway... My period should come again early next month and now that I can't take ibuprofen for the pain I'm wondering what do you all take? Thanks!

I just made sure I took the prescribed pain med on time more so for cramping than the actual surgery! Hope u feel better soon.

Blue sky, I already had my surgery. I'm wondering what to take now that, after the sleeve, I can't have ibuprofen.

Tylenol

Taylorla,

Like Countrygirl said, take Tylenol or use the prescription painkiller they gave u for your surgery. Drink the hot tea u can... This worked for me. I know it's scary not to have the "go to" ibuprophen, but u will get through this bump, too.
