pills

[options123 3]

I understand about pain relievers. Are there any other pills a banded patient should avoid. I am asthmatic and was given a prs for steroids today. I would only need the steriods for 6 days if i take them. I have opted for an inhaler. Are steroids ok for banded patients. Is the only concern pain killers what about arthritic meds such as anti inflammatory. I am not a big pill person but I an concerned. I am scheduled for next week and I bought a pill crusher, the one used by pharmacist, for any pills I may need after being banded. Any input will help. I am sure I will have a few questions this weekend before my surgery on Wednesday. Thanks

Please make sure you ask your pharmacist about halfing or crushing meds. Some can not be at all. If you have a Dr already the best thing to do is talk to him. I have my surgery April 2th and the meds that was given to me are small enough that it wont do anything. My surgeon told me if i could to see if the meds could be bought in chewable or liquid form.
