So i took a small dose daily before surgery for like 1-3 years off and on. Anesthesia doctor said not to take it day before and day of surgery so i didn't. And i haven't since. I was sleeved on 1/29. Does anyone else take pills? Is it ok to swallow small tablets ??

I was given 2 tylenols caps at the hospital the day after my surgery for a headache. I believe its up to the individual and how well they go down. But I'm sure taking a small pill won't hurt your sleeve.

I was allowed my 6-8 pills that I take each night the night of surgery. Took some time to get in, but otherwise fine. Of course, your doc will have his own opinion more relevant than my experience. Celexa is better weaned from than stopped abruptly, I thought, but maybe I am wrong. It's the side effects of stopping abruptly that can be unpleasant. Again, I am not a medical professional so don't trust me too much! LOL.

I also take Celexa. I was told that if everything goes well i can resume it the day after surgery. My psychiatric doctors said a day or 2 off wont really effect it too much.

I was not informed to stop it the day before surgery... hmm now i need to go check that since today is my day before

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
