just tell them no NSAIDS. They will understand that.

you can have tylenol, percocets, codeine, etc.

How awful for you.  Hope you heal quickly.

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora.  Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.

You could ask if a steroid would be helpful.

Are you getting B12 injected to help with the deficiency? It should respond very quickly with an injection.
I had OHIP approved Duodenal Switch surgery with Dr. Dennis Hong at St. Joseph's Hamilton on March 7th, 2012. Want more information on the DS in Ontario? Send me a private message!

If you're taking codeine, you might need something for your bowels.

Ice can reduce swelling.  Ask if that is possible.  Sometimes you need the extra blood and fluid that is rushed to the injury site to help heal.
