what meds did you take home from Mexico?



Recommended Posts

I know we will be taking home some Nexium mups, and some of the sublingual pain medication. Has anyone else gotten other meds from Dr. Aceves? I am thinking of asking for a prescription for Ativan to help with the post op stress.

Thoughts?

If you can, get your three month supply of nexium before you leave. I paid 300 bucks for a three month supply here. It is about half that price in Mexico. I did not need any more Toradol (supradol), as my pain was so minimal afterwards. It was mainly esophageal spasms every time I swallowed at first...especially if I could not burp between each swallow of fluids. That was just a 5 minutes or so pain though, until the fluids went down, each time. If you have anxiety, ask about the ativan.

I bought a 3 month supply (5 boxes of 14 pills) of Nexium Mups in the 40 mg size. (can be split in half) and it came to $196 American dollars. As others have said...it's quite a bit more in the States.

As for pain, I find that liquid Tylenol handles any lingering aches and pains.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
