Pain Medication for Post-OPS: Plastic Surgery

[Guest guest]

Good Morning.

I'm scheduled for an abdominoplasty July 5  (omg).

I'd like a list of medications (suggested/approved/etc) used for pain for MGB

post-ops without issue or conflict regarding the nsaid or tylemol element, etc.

One that I know this surgeon uses I was told is Klosidol. Is that OK?

Also, what could be used, besides morphine immediately post surgery? I was

unhappy with the morphine after my MGB - made me feel ill.

(My friend who had a TT with this surgeon said she had morphine out of surgery

and the Klosidol for 'take'home'.)

It'd be great to hear from collegial post-ops in addition to the good Docs and

their support staff!!

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSES - whether privately to midge0138 or via a

posting on the boards!

I was prescribed tramadol for use for my back and hip pain (arthritus).

Hi Jen,

I withdrew off of 4-40 mgs. of oxychontin p/day before my MGB. I know what

knee, hip, shoulder, and back pain is. After my surgery, I have taken liquid

tylonol only three of four times. I am a little scared to take anything and I

put it off as long as I can. We are all different. CLOS recommends that we

stay away all nsaids because they lead to stomach problems.

I pray that your pain lessens.

Blessings,

Larry

Tramadol is a perfect post MGB pain reliever as it is plain, has no advil or

tylenol in it, it is also non narcotic but the brain thinks it is narcotic. 

Your doctor has really helped you with a good choice as I have taken it as a

post op as well.

Hi Ms Barbara,

Thanks for the post. I have never heard of Tramadol. I will read up on it and

talk with my PCP.

Again Thanks.

Blessings,

I have used it as well but only one pill per day.  Two make me loopy for 24

hours just like a hangover.  For some reason prescription pain meds have

affected me differently since the MGB.
