If the cold is just coming on I highly suggest Cold-eze they do really help shorten the cold and lessen the severity.

Feel better. Call your doctor, is true. I have a cold right now. My PCP told me to take children's liquid Mucinex. Also adults liquid Tylenol I have been given before. I suck on cough drops but I also have had the band since July.

You should consult your doctor for what they recommend. For me, I have been able to take all the same cold medicines as before. Also, the best thing you can do when you are sick is rest. If you force it working out, you may end up really sick wearing yourself down. Feel better soon!

i asked my dr about this very subject iget allergies bad, pms etc......and he said to use tylenol...so i buy the walmart or walgreens (cvs) brands if tylenol...i try to buy liquid if possible but i do have caplets that i can swallow (i do break them in half if i fear they are too big).. some people have posted motrin and things like that, but id refer to your dr in regards to any insaids just to be safe. feel better girlfriend...

so glad you are feeling better! I have been following your story, as my doctor thinks that I probably have kidney stones. Fortunately, mine seem to be breaking up themselves right now (my main symptom is urine that looks like it has black pepper in it, plus some pain). The PA said they don't think the surgery precipitated this, but I did read that dehydration can precipitate kidney stones. I have been drinking a ton but it never feels like enough (even at 100 oz or more). Did your surgeon say whether they thought your stones were related to your surgery? Still glad I got it, but just curious. The worst is that they think mine are oxalate material so I need to limit beans, greens, soy protein, and black tea, which are a huge part of my diet since I'm vegetarian. The RD said hydration is more important than that though. Sending you continued healing thoughts! Thank you for sharing your story.

Thanks for this information! I have always used a brush on my legs when bathing, since it keeps them smooth. This should surely help.

So true! Congrats on your loss!

I'm glad they found the problem and fixed it quickly. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
