    Default Will I go home with any pain medication?

    I have been reading a few posts where people say they are in some pain...some less, some more...I tend to hate pain, and am very sensitive to it...please tell me that what my doctor told me is correct...she will give me some pain medication to go home with!

    Yes, that is correct. You will go home with pain meds. I did and I have never heard otherwise. Some people have pain some don't. Some mild, some not so mild. Wishing you the very best!!

    No pain yet, have not had surgery...just had wondered, because I was reading someone's comment that they were in some moderate pain...my first thought is take your meds...thank you for your heads up re: gas ... take care!

    I was sent home with Percocet. I had minimal gas pains but still have some Left lower quadrant pinching. Never had any incisional pain.

    My Doctor gave me prescriptions to fill before my surgery so that I would not have to worry about it after. I've already got them filled and are waiting for me after I get home if needed. He included Prilosec for heartburn(I am also getting hernia fixed),and Zofran (for nausea).
    Some doctors will give you the prescriptions a head of time. I would check with your Doc to see if he will do that , it may make you feel more at ease just to have that part already taken care of.
