I am doing upper and lower abdominal Lipo as well as lower hips, the doctor said I will be put under General anasthesia and be completely out during the procedure. My concern is that the post-op pain will be unbearable. I am a recovering opioid addict and am currently on suboxone. If I quit the suboxone so that I can take opiates I will go into withdrawal. If I stay on the subs I will not be able to take opiates, I need advice on how to manage the pain. I go to my pre-op appointment in 10 days.
My doctor prescribed me 30 oxycodone 5/325 after my face/neck lift. Now I am getting ready to have an even more major surgery to remove skin from my abdomen, sides, back along with liposuction and he only gave me a prescription for 15 pills. I feel like canceling the entire surgery. The surgery is on a Wednesday so I will be taking 1- 2 pills every 4 to 6 hours, that will have me running out before the weekend when I won't be able to get another prescription from the doctor.
Got my surgery done yday. What should I be eating for first 10 days. Since there is no workout and I am on meds (painkillers, antibiotics etc), want to ensure I eat well. After 10-15 days I can start workout with light walks etc. Please advise.
I had lipo on the inside of my knees at the end of April. They are lumpy, discolored and very painfull. I have to take a prescription pain pill every morning and night. The swell up at night. Not sure if they will ever get better and I am worried about the discoloration. I've been back to the surgeon at least 5 times and he doesn't seem concerned. Should I be?
I was just wanting to know the different types of pain medication that is prescribed after liposuction? I have read reviews where girls ask for stronger dosage because the ones prescribed were not working good enough. What do doctors usually prescribe?
I've gotten my wisdom teeth taken out in the past and the antibiotics and hydrocodone made me beyond sick. I'm considering getting chin/neck liposuction, but I'm wondering if I will have to go through the same ordeal of getting sick from the pain meds & antibiotics prescribed afterwards?
I'm having outer thigh liposuction to remove several inches of fat under general anesthesia, and I know I'll be taking antibiotics starting a few days before the surgery, but how long are patients usually under antibiotics or pain meds after surgery? Furthermore, how long will I experience heavy pain/discomfort after the surgery?
What type of pain med should i use after having a lipo, bbl, breast lift with augmentation/implant? Do you have to use oral morphine ? or extra strenght tylenol would be enough? I'm really confuse .... Thank you
