What pills does Dr. ortiz prescribe?

Is there anti-biotics and pain pills? Which ones? Should I bring any over the counter medicine?

Dr. Ortiz will dispense a medication that is both a pain reliever and a anti-inflamatory. The medication may be taken every 12 hours and he gives you enough for 4 doses. You just slip the pill under your tongue and let it melt. Tylenol makes a liquid for adults that I've been using to help with minor pain at the port site.

Hello Chelley are you having surgery soon? I am a newbie too! I hardly can figure out how to do this. I am scheduled for surgery 5 May 06.

I was banded on April 18th. You can read about my experience under the heading "Newly Banded" - my post is "Banded April 2006". Hope it helps you! Good luck with your procedure.
