What can we take when we are sick?

HI everyone

I am currently waiting for my surgery date and a billion things are starting to pop into my head.

Right now I have this whole allergy/congestion thing starting and it made me think...

What can we take when we are sick?

Obviously NSAIDS are a no no but what about mucinex, nyquil and other cold or illness go-tos? I don't think I will be able to take anything in pill form right?

      I have been cleared to have any med, any time for any condition. One of the nice things about the sleeve.

    You can take all of that (check with your surgeon of course) but none of that is restricted for sleeve patients.

    This doc is helpful! https://www.slhn.org/docs/newsletter/bariatrics%20-%20coughcoldflu.pdf

    ETA- After the first few weeks, pills should not be a problem either, so long as they're not horse pill antibiotics. Even then you can cut them in half to make them easier to swallow.
