I have to have a tooth surgically removed they will put me to sleep and then afterwards the doctor has prescribed ibuprofen 600 of course it's after hours and I just now remembered we really have to be mindful of what medicines were taking ...oops ...is that a pain killer that we can take?

No, absolutely not. I know doctors are afraid of prescribing opioids these days but he's just going to have to.

No unfortunately NSAIDs are a no-no. I would call the office (despite after hours) and ask for another Rx and explain your situation. In the meantime try taking Tylenol up to 600 mg (3 pills? ) as an alternative.

Thank you guys so much !!!! That's what I thought I will be calling the surgeon's office tomorrow and ask for something else. The thing is, doing the paperwork, I even put down that I had had the bariatric surgery cuz they wanted you to list all your surgeries in the past 5 years and I even put down under the medications that I take the bariatric Vitamins and Calcium. I guess it's so easy to just get so busy in your life that you just kind of forget these things but I'm glad I looked at the prescription when I got home and thought about that. I am so very thankful to have all of you help me when I am just not thinking straight

liquid Tylenol works faster because there's nothing to dissolve,

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
