I have a terrible cold and NyQuil is usually the best remedy for me. But I don't know if I'm allowed and hate to call my dr on a Friday evening. I'm 6 weeks post op!

The alcohol in the Nyquil might make your pouch upset. I took some childrens cold liquids and it seemed to help. I would ask the doctor

Hope you feel better.

Thanks a bunch!!!

My doc said to stay away from NyQuil. I had already had 1 dose and it burned my stomach pretty bad (just the feeling not an actual burn). The pharmacist suggested robituassin bc it's not as much alcohol and cheap so if I couldn't handle it I hadn't spent an arm and leg. It burned a little going down but was tolerable. This was 3 weeks out also. The doc said to stay away from any decongestant, but musinex w a cough suppressant worked pretty well also.

I have taken it post op before but it doesnt take much. I took the regular dose after having a smaller stomach and the next day I was super duper tired.

I guess I'll just tough it out. Probably not worth the risk! Thanks so much all for responding

I have a cold I am not a week out of surgery. My Dr office said Tylenol cold or something to that fact. I had dayquil here and I have been taking it just a spoonful at the time and it doesnt seem to bother the stomach.

I guess just like everything...it varies from person to person!

I got a cold about 2 weeks out of surgery and took Nyquil for about 4 days. It had 10% alcohol in it and it was probably not the best choice on my part. No problems taking it, but burned a little.

After last night, I'm going to give it a try. Even just a little!!

Made a big mistake and took Nyquil last night for severe cold symptoms, I only took about a tablespoon and I almost ended up in the ER. I had dizziness, squeezing chest pain, and a searing pain going up between my shoulder blades! I thought i had caused a leak or maybe a blood clot broke loose- I was terrified and call my Surgeon (via his answering service at 10pm), and he said my symptoms were significant even if I did not have the sleeve just 2 weeks ago, he said if the symptoms continued and did not get better I should go to the ER where I had my surgery (an hour away) or come see him in the office tomorrow if symptoms do get relieved. Fortunately I had my hubby with me and he kept me calm and I finally fell asleep in the recliner-he slept on the couch next to me. I usually am not one to panic but the feelings I was having were NOT normal!

I am so very sorry to hear about your scare! I have been taking liquid Tylenol at night and Tylenol cold and sinus pills during the day with no issues. Maybe those Would agree with you more! I hope you are feeling better today!!

I really would love to down some NyQuil right now. I feel awful. :-(

Try liquid Tylenol. It honestly has worked great for me with no side effects!!

There is a robitussin that is for diabetics, no sugar or alcohol. Not had surgery yet but am a bad diabetic and that's what I take.

I think I have a cold, but I am absolutely miserable. Stuffy/runny nose, cough, sore & scratchy throat, stopped up ears. All the day before my month follow up (really its 6 weeks bc I couldn't get in at 1 month). I've managed to eat a little, but I am not very hungry. I've had a lot of Water today though.
