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

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
