    Digestive track surgeries deliver off and on very noticeable pains for about a year and a half. Cancer pains are more consistent, but are usually manageable because the docs are more generous with the pain drugs. In your situation, ask the docs to give you a prescription of straight up oxycodone hydrochloride (all by itself: no nothin' mixed in) in 5mg units. Have the druggists cut the pills in half. Take one 2.5mg pill per 4 to 6 hours, longer the better here. If pain persists, go to two of these little slices, and increase the time in between. By doing this the chances of becoming dependent are next to zero. Even if you become dependent, quitting such low doses become no more effort than quitting ice cream/cokes. ... felix

    In addition, if pain is too much still, you can take a half pill of 325mg Tylenol with the oxycodone. If even still too much pain, you might add a half pill of 200mg Advil to the same dose as well. However, for digestive pain, the Advil (or aspirin) is NOT recommended because they are of the NSAID type of drugs which can (and will) cause internal bleeding. You might want to take a full 325mg Tylenol instead with a 5mg of oxycodone. Oxycodone is very compatible with these extra drugs, and not only that, they act in very homogeneous fashion which increases the pain alleviation as a composite drug. ... felix

    Still praying for you Tony.

    If you do take Narcotic Analgesics make sure you take something to prevent constipation!

    Yes, constipation will be encouraged by too much oxycodone. And, headaches, too! And, for that matter, dreams can be colorfull.

    Magnesium pills to loosen things up, and calcium pills to harden things back up. Those two must be balanced to make things "normal". Take half pill's worth because adjustment can be as difficult as dialling in a good load with a bad boolit-powder combo, LITERALLY. Magnesium can be habit forming too, so be conservative all around with both. The only choice for headaches (in your situation) is Tylenol. Increase the dose of this slightly to keep a clean head. ... felix

    Doing pretty well so far on a loratab liquid that's working well, finally having bm's kinda loose but on a 350 calorie liquid diet for the month so can't expect much more than that. Gas is finally letting up starting to feel like me again and the truly greatest part ABSOLUTLY no hungry pains or even feelings for that matter. Drinking everything slow and not having any nausea problems so all and all would have to say I'm doing well hoping tomorrow to get back to exercising a lil was doing 30 mins a day on the treadmill and lost 29 lbs in 2 weeks. Would have to say I get asked a lot if it was worth it and so far 100%. Has it been easy, well no but is anything worth having? Thanks again guys for the advise and prayers

    Good morning
    Anis tea is great for gas. That is what the docs here give surgury patients. Works very well. Two tea bags in a 2 quart pot boiled for an hour.

    Lord give Tony the strength to recalibrate his life. Protect and continued healing from this surgery. Give him your Dailey protection from old habits and help him overcome himself. Pore your grace on him and his family.
