Safe Meds List?

Is there a good list anywhere about OTC meds that are safe post-sleeve? Of course I know NSAIDs are a no-no.... I spent all morning at the minute clinic this morning and had her check meds out before she prescribed for me...but one of them is Robitussin....I'm wondering not about the active meds...but the amount of sugar in the med. I do not want to throw up meds b/c of sugar! I went straight to minute clinic b/c I wasn't even sure where to start with meds on my own....guess it was a good think I did b/c I had Strep on top of a viral infection :-(

How far out are you from surgery?

I was given a whole list of meds I could and couldn't get take and still called and asked my surgeon's office.

I am experiencing my first full-blown head cold post surgery. Since I was sleeved in April she said I could take anything. I've been taking Tylenol cold with no problems so far.
