Hey guys I have the flu and was prescribed robitussin AC with codeine. I told the dr I was sleeved. Has anyone taken this post op? I am 6 wks out and don't wanna be in pain.

Yes, you can have it. Just make sure the codeine doesn't constipate you.

We are given Loratab in the hospital and that codiene.

Feel better!

Ok because my sleeve is feeling sore. I'm thinking it's from coughing so much but I wanted to make sure it wasn't from the codeine.

My doctor prescribed me Tylenol with codeine to take home with me from the hospital. Safe but could upset your stomach if taken without food. And there's the constipation thing.

I was given codeine in the hospital and for post surgery pain management when I got home. Only thing to watch for is constipation.

I am in the ER with severe abdominal pains. I will let you all know what's going on when I know for sure.

Oh no! Prayers for you! Codeine should be fine but, watch out for constipation. Make sure they call your surgeon so they can properly treat you.

So I went to the ER and they gave me a gastric cocktail whatever that is and sent me home. I have had the flu for 3 days now and am miserable. I am still in so much pain. I live in a small town with a small hospital and they don't even have an ultrasound machine. So they told me that it's just a bug. But I've never had pain like this with a bug. Could I have a leak at 6 wks out?? What are the symptoms? Could it be y gallbladder? I'm going to call my surgeon in the am but I guess I'm just going to suffer til then.

Whoa. A lot can change overnite!! DON'T wait to call your surgeon. They should have someone on call 24/7! It's part of the package of being a doctor!! Who knows what you've got! Could be sore muscles from coughing, gallbladder, a tear, a leak....THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IS TO CALL YOUR SURGEON. NOW. :-)

We yell because we care. We are all in this together.

sweetie if you read this....they will want to do a cat scan. THE DYES MUST BE ADMINISTERED VIA IV NOT ORALLY my doc couldn't stress that enough. Best of luck dear!
