What meds were you given post op?

Mommy2two · 04-11-2009, 05:36 PM

I am having my breast augmentation on monday and My PS prescribed Vicodin, Keflex, and a Medrol dose pack(whatever that is) I was just curious if anyone else has had to have this or just what meds you had to take? Thanks in advance

Heavnlycreation · 04-11-2009, 05:41 PM

I had percocet, anti-nausea, antibiotic, and lyrica

Jenaa DD · 04-11-2009, 05:45 PM

Keflex and Hydrocodone

scoobeedoo · 04-11-2009, 05:53 PM

Keflex 500 mg every 6 hrs (2 days)
Percocet- (oxycodone 325) every 4hrs- as needed
Phenergan- (anti nausia-bullet) as needed

optional:
Arnica Montana

Mandie · 04-11-2009, 05:56 PM

Keflex
Hydrocodone

Mommy2two · 04-11-2009, 06:16 PM

Thanks ladies! I am really debating on whether or not I want to take the medrol. It's a corticosteroid, and I just don't feel like I need it.

tiger0805 · 04-11-2009, 06:50 PM

I had Oxycodone and Darvocet as well as an anti-nausea pill but barely took them.

suesmiles · 04-11-2009, 07:49 PM

I was given pain meds, antibiotics and anti-nausea meds.

Momtotwo · 04-11-2009, 07:53 PM

I was given Vicoden, Valium, Keflex and Zofran.

Congrats to you :-)

MissNewBooty · 04-11-2009, 08:05 PM

i was given Vicoden, phenegram and an antibiotic.

Stephie Baby · 04-11-2009, 08:07 PM

Does anyone know what medicine is normally in the pain pump??? I think I'm getting the pain pump instead of meds.

ladynow81 · 04-11-2009, 08:09 PM

I was given vicodin and Keflex.

NC74 · 04-11-2009, 08:23 PM

i got antibiotics, panadiene forte (pain killer) and some kinda muscle relaxant? i bought a natural laxative. my anesthetist said it was a good idea to take a laxative every time i take a painkiller cos thats what would cause the blockage. its helped a bit already been to the loo on day 2!!!

The medicine in my pain pump was a local anesthetic, I still had vicodin. The pain pump helps, but you still will have muscle aches and soreness that the pain pump didn't affect at all for me. I find the pain pump rather useless, it's more of an annoyance really. You have to carry a fanny pack around. If you're getting the pain pump and don't know if you're getting pain pills, I would make sure you were getting both! IMO Good luck on your breast augmentation!!

LoriLeeMcD · 04-11-2009, 09:19 PM

My surgery is April 21st and my Dr. prescribed me

Valium 5mg for pain or muscle spasm
Hydrocodone for pain
Promethazine 25mg suppository for nausea
Cephalexine 500mg my antibiotic

Also I am getting a thing called an Acti Patch after surgery. Anyone know anything about this?

curlygirl · 04-12-2009, 12:33 AM

Congrats BTW! So excited for yoU! I was given Percocet, Antibiotic (2 X a day for 14 days), Colace (I didn't get it but I should have), E-Med (I took this an hour before surgery and it lasts for 48 hours, it is suppose to be the BEST anti-naseau pill, that is what my PS said anyway). I took the pain killers every 4 hours for the first two days...my hubby made me, glad I did though because the first 3 days are the worst. Also, just make sure you put your pills in a pill case because I could not for the life of me open my pill bottles, it was awful and I am sure a sad sight to see.....it took me over an hour one day when my hubby was at the store to get into one! So sad

I will keep you in my thoughts!

lilWVmomma · 04-12-2009, 12:36 AM

I was given Vicodin & Keflex & I had a anti-nausea patch behind my ear for a day.

Cathyaurora · 04-12-2009, 08:07 AM

I just got my prescriptions and they inclue Keflex, Zofran, Valium, and Demerol. Seems like a lot to me. Anyone ever take Demerol? I had oxycodone for my 1st 2 breast augmentation's and valium at night. I only needed to take the pain med's for 1 day and then switched to X-tra strength Tylenol. Good luck in your operation on Monday!

Pooh · 04-12-2009, 08:12 AM

I would ask why he wants you to take the medrol dose pac???? I work in surgery center x 8 years and have never seen ps order that postop. It is used to decrease swelling in some post op cases (tonsils and ear-nose-throat surgeries) but strange that he ordered after breast augmentation?

xo_mmm_ox · 04-12-2009, 08:40 PM

hey! my breast augmentation is tomorrow too! i was prescribed, vicodin, percocet, zofran, phenergan and antibitotics
