Quick question

I tried calling my surgeons office this morning but have not gotten a call back because he has been in surgery all day. I am currently in the 2 week pre-op diet phase and I have a terrible headache and need to know if I am allowed to take my imitrex. Does anyone happen to have experience with this?

Thanks!

    how far into your pre-op are you? I wasn't allowed to take ANY medication the 48hrs leading up to surgery. Is there a nurse practitioner at your surgeon's office you can speak with? They'll know the specifics about medication restrictions.

    I had called back but they said they had not heard from the doctor yet. It's frustrating that there isn't anyone else that could assist me.
