If you were self-pay... how much did you pay for any/all post-op meds?

there were really no post op meds, except the liquid codiene (I paid $17.00 canadian) but I think any liquid painkiller will be fine. I also bought some OTC Gasx strips that were about $7.00

I am not sure what you are calling post op meds. Do you mean for the pain?

I wasn't self pay but I really did not have post op meds except for generic Vicodin. I only took one after surgery.

My second surgery, last Thursday, to reposition my port, after it flipped, I already had the pills but they prescribed more. Only took one of those also. I think that was only because of the long ride home.

Hang in there, you have come this far.

no post op meds here eiother except Percocet, which is very cheap...under $10.00....Good luck....

I was self-pay but I filled my pain medicine on my insurance - no reason not to. That is the only prescription I needed - and have already dropped 4 prescriptions after 4 weeks post-op.:thumbup:

Mine was about $200. But I had to take heparin shots (blood thinner to prevent blood clots), not many people take those though... The liquid vicodin (pain) and phenergen suppositories (nausea) were the only other things I had to get, both were probably $40 combined. Wal-mart had the cheapest prices. Sometimes the doctor will have a 'deal' with a certain pharmacy, you might ask. Mine had a pharmacy in the same building and had special pricing, but didn't have any heparin (since they're phasing it out), so I went to Wal-mart.

I was self pay, mine was about $50, I was prescribed three meds 1) pain meds, 2) stuff to keep me from throwing up (used only if needed), and 3) antibiotic.

From what I understand, the only post op prescription they give is liquid vicodin or some other liquid painkiller. Those are pretty cheap. That, and liquid tylenol which is cheap.
