Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the administration of acetaminophen given
intravenously (through an IV) beginning during surgery and then for 3 additional doses during
the first 24 hours post-operatively will reduce the length of time subjects undergoing
elective sleeve gastrectomy spend in the hospital following this operation. Additional
questions that may be answered include whether administration of the study medication leads
to improvement in pain control, a reduction in post-operative nausea and vomiting, and an
overall improvement in quality of recovery.
