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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
