hello, i never got a list of over the counter meds i am not supposed to take once banded. others have told me im not supposed to take certain things now, any help,

You should be able to take the things (prescription and over the counter) you took prior to surgery. Except for certain drugs like extended release that should not be crushed or chewed; you may need to break tablets in half or dissolve them in water so they do not get stuck in the stoma and make you sick. I was told to avoid aspirin and non-steroid anti-inflammatory pain relievers because they may irritate the stomach (aspirine, ibuprofin and naprosyn). When in doubt, call your doctor.

What are you not supposed to take? My doctor said I could take whatever meds I took before the band and didn't mention anything I should avoid.

i heard you shouldnt take asprin or aleve
