6 weeks if I remember correctly, but don't go by what I say, your doctor must give u clearance.

My surgeon sent me home with pills -- pain pills and anti-biotics. I have read on forums that there is a risk of ulcers with certain kinds of pills. If you can wait, call you doctor/hospital and ask, otherwise, I would use the search bar and type in the medication name (aleve, tylenol, midol, etc) you want to take to see if other people have posted a thread about it!

I could start taking most of my meds when I got home. But I did have to crush all my pills for the first month. Which was totally discusting and made me really sick.

I was told as long as it was smaller than an M&M I could take it at 2 weeks. Anything bigger I cut in half. After 6 weeks, I could take anything.

My Dr had us taking pills for pain when we left the hospital. They had to be smaller than an M&M. I only missed the day after surgery of not taking blood pressure meds. I take several Vitamins and my Zantac each day, 46 minutes apart.

I don't think this is the place to ask a question like that....you should ask your surgeon.

All the best

I wondered what others were doing that's all. Just curious. Called my doc and they said 6-8 weeks. I will wait till the end just in case.
