I assume you are early post-op?

There are some meds some Docs prefer post-ops avoid. You should contact your Doc to see his thoughts.

My Doc had not medication restrictions, other Docs have long lists of don'ts.

Ask enough of us, you'll get every possible answer, which is why you should talk to your Doc.

I was be EXTREMELY cautious of lozenges, as accidentally swallowing one could land you in surgery.

Good luck,

Tek

Preferably not NSAIDs. Other than that you can try regular over the counter stuff.

I take NSAIDs.

Every surgeon has different takes on meds.

I am also on heavy amounts of NSAIDs at the moment, however it does not mean that it is a good thing, since we are more prone to getting ulcers. NSAIDS are usually off limits after WLS. I take them up were the sun don't shine with some PPI, it makes it more bearable than taking them oral. Still I am watched closely for signs of ulcers.

Pretty much the point. NSAIDs and other meds depend on our situations in consultation with our Docs.

All meds have side effects.

I also am on watch for side effects of several meds.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
