I'd check with your surgical team. Different doctors have different "banned" medications for post-op.

I recently googled why you cant take pills before surgery and somehow came up on an article about pills after surgery and how they can punch a hole in your stomach. so now Im a little nervous for after because I get really bad Migraines. I usually take Excedrin but I think that might be an issue after surgery.

There are several treatments they can attune you to post-op if your normal method isn't accessible. I also have Migraines and they had to tweak my meds a bit. It also depends on which surgery you are going for. Are you RNY or VSG?

I'm sorry, I don't know what those acronyms stand for LOL. I am doing the sleeve surgery. I feel a little uneducated about my surgery. I been waiting so long for the insurance to approve it that I been focusing on getting them what they want.

RnY- Gastric bypass, we end up with an egg size and shaped stomach pouch. VSG- verical sleeve gastrectomy- you give away 75-90% of your natural stomach to get a banana shaped pouch the diameter of a garden hose, both you lose weight like a bandit, Bypass a liitle more so. At any rate , you are never the same as when you went into the operating theatre! Your choice, your LIFE!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
