I know there's a list of meds that shouldn't be taken after surgery such as --- midol, motrin, and advil.

Sooooo my question is ... Are there certain birth control pills that aren't suppose to be taken after surgery? If so, which? Or ladies, .. (if you don't mind me asking) what have you took since having surgery??

Also lately I feel the cold sinus thing going on -- what sorts of cold medicine are safe?

Thanks all!

I just had my one week post op appointment and my doctor's PA cleared me to start my BC again. I take the progestin only pill (also called the mini-pill). My dr. said that as long as the pill is as small as a pencil eraser or smaller then it shouldn't be a problem at the beginning. Of course, I would ask your doctor, this is only what mine said!

OH WAIT! I just saw that we have the same doctor...haha well that's awesome.

      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.
