I just found a out my fiancee accidently gave me 2 Excedrin instead of 2 Tylenol should I be okay off taking one dose? I know I am not suppose to take that due to it having aspirin

Thanks

You will probably live through your ordeal.

My medical team never gave me a blanket ban on any medication because each of our situations are different. Because of liver issues Tylenol was a no-no while aspirin products were "take and monitor, be careful" medication.

Some people do have issues the first time they take aspirin products though it is not at all common.

Good luck,

Tek

I haven't taken aspirin or ibuprofen since I had surgery 7.5 years ago, but the PA at my clinic said taking a dose or two once in a great while for something that Tylenol wasn't doing anything for should be fine. They just don't want us taking NSAIDs as our regular pain reliever, since they can cause ulcers.

      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! 😞
