 I've been taking liquid tylenol during the day since Sunday but do still take the Lortab at night because I just can't get comfortable.

I'm embarassed to call and ask for more, I don't want to be a whiney butt but I still have pain and can't seem to sleep :(

It seems like you all barely needed pain meds at all- am I a freak show?

Some do. everyone is different. If you need the meds check with your doc.

 i totally got a refill! i'm a WIMP!! i warned my doctor so i think he was prepared to send out a refill :)
theres no sense in being in pain - it will only make your healing worse.

Don't feel bad.  This is surgery, and we are all different.  I  did not need the pain meds, but  I take something everyday for Nueropathy, and I can't get comfortable without it.   Wish I could send you mine. Pain is pain!  A year ago I got a bad tooth ache on a Thurs. evening and you can't find a dentist on a Friday in my town!  I would have given my first born for pain meds that weekend.  Your doc did not give you a refill?  Hon, there is nothing wrong with calling and asking for more. You won't be the first or only one who calls.  Best Wishes!

Thanks y'all! I guess the worst that can happen, is that they say no, right?

*sigh*

I really thought I'd bounce back easier :/

Hey that's what the doctor is there for, right ? They don't want u to be in pain. Everyone has a different experience after surgery. I still have my bottle of Lortab...I didn't even open it because I didn't need it. If it wasn't illegal I would mail it to you...I was thinking of what I should do with it since I can't return it....Hope the pain eases soon...Hugs!

I've not been sleeved yet, but I had my preop visit yesterday and met with the surgeon, etc.  He told me to definitely call for more pain meds if I need it after surgery, so it must not be that uncommon. :)  I hope you feel better soon!

Are you sure you don't have a refill on your RX? My surgeon gave me a refill automatically. Check - but if not, call them! If you are still in pain there is NO reason not to have meds this soon out of surgery.
