Re: pain meds after surgery?
Definitely take some kind of antiemetic (be it Gravol or a Rx antiemetic) with narcotic pain meds and always take them with a little bit of food. After my breast implants I was in massive amounts of pain and required 2 Percocet q4h just to take the edge off. I kept a steady dose of Gravol in me at all times and that helped a lot. I'm sure Zofran would have helped more, I had practically no nausea the day of surgery (and the little I did have I think was anxiety nausea) when I was pumped full of IV antiemetics. Good luck next week, I'm sure everything will go just fine!
