Medications don't cause dumping, unless they've been loaded with sugar. Doesn't mean they won't make you sick though. Remember, all medication have intended effects and side, unintended effects.

Any medication decision at 1 week post-op, or really for the near future, should include your Doc. You and your Doc are intimate with your health situation, while we are just random interweb voices.

Good luck,

Tek

1 week post op and prob on other meds i would call and ask your bariatric nurse. Normally when im sick like that i take dayquil but with covid and being so close out just check to be sure its ok with your set of comorbities and current med lists. Dayquil comes in liquid form if you decide to try it

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
