i can't take any medication because my surgery is tomorrow morning (usually, i'd take excedrine or zomig (prescription, but i'm out of that)).

i can't stand this and i just don't know what to do. i'm on the verge of tears.

call your doctor and ask if you can take liquid tylenol...since ur surgury is tomorrow u cant drink anything until midnight..so dat gives u time..i dont kno i would either ask or just suffer for the day...u dont wanna risk something then find out tomorrow that you didnt get the band because you took a pill

Just try and relax, go into a dark room take a cold cloth put on forehead and take a sleep if you can, You are just nervous. Everything is going to be okay, Good Luck!

thank you both for your replies.

i had called my dr through the office emergency service (twice) but it took him hours to call back. it wasn't a headache from nerves, it was an evil bastard of a migraine (nausea, sensitivity to light, sound, the works). neither tylenol or advil work for these kinds of headaches. i thought i was out of zomig but i found some! i was so desperate, i took one and thankfully, when the dr finally called back, he said it was okay.

*whew*

it didn't take it away completely but most of it is gone and i can function.

thank goodness. :thumbup:

im glad 2 hear everything went well! :skep: good luck tomorrow!!!

I so hope your migraine has left you by the time you read this. Good luck with the surgery! I suffer migraines and I know how miserable they can be. Mine last 3 or 4 days. So glad to hear that your doc called and that you found the missing drug :thumbup:.

Happy Banding,

TPG

How are you doing? Did you make it through the surgery or did you have to cancel? Keep us posted.

since being banded howare you able to take all your migraine medication. i TAKEIMITREX tylenol #3X2, naproxen X2 so thislittle cocktail should fill my pouch my surgeon says I won't have any problems, but I'mseriously scared. Please let me know if you get them and take as much as i DO.

relax, take a walk, fresh air helps and pray everything will be fine tomorrow.........:cursing:

At my pre-op visit my surgeon gave me a list of medications that I should never take again. Naproxin is on that list. Is your surgeon aware that you are taking these meds?
