a case of nerves....

[Guest guest]

Hi. My name's Tina. I'm new here.....I've been reading for a bit, but

never responded or introduced myself.My surgery is scheduled 4/14. I

am

so eager and excited.I've got a long story, that I won't force upon

you.

Today, reading the digest, I feel nervous. How common are infections

and vomitting? These notes are frightening. Truth is, even if I would

be resigned to vomitting (which I would rather not be every day) I

would STILL have this done. I want free of this weight as I'm sure

only

you (at least most of you), can imagine. I'm worried about pain too.I

read that someone only got ES Tylenol. First off, I hate Tylenol. I

don't take it if possible.( It's hard on the liver) It has no pain

relief value for me. I

already take percocet and vicodin periodically for chronic pain. I

normally try to control it with motrin and neurontin. ( I quit motrin

for the surgery). But percoet/ vicodin have never effected me the way

they do most. I can barely tell I've taken them, though after several

doses, I do find my pain more tolerable. My Dr's will expect my post

surgical pain to be managed by my surgeon. If I'm sent home with

something inadequate, (which I really need to be more than Tylenol)

what do I do since Dr Aceves is in Mexico? I would still have the

surgery even if I would be in terrible unrelieved pain, but I sooo

would rather not....it doesn't seem like a good way to heal....I hope

I

hear back from somebody, cuz now I'm scared! Tina
