Not sure how far out you are, but be careful. I would check your documentation, most doctors include a list of what you can have. If they don't, call them this morning and ask. I hope you feel better!

I was told any liquid cold meds are fine. Just check with your doctor if they are anti NSAID. Tylenol cold and flu multi symptom made me feel better.

I was told by my doctor that any medicine is okay as long as it's taken with food. So far I have not had any problems. I too am sick right now, I am taking Robitussin & Mucinex :(

I'm 6 months out, but my doctor told me this when I was about 2-3 months.

I'm 16 wks out. I'm going to call them today, as soon as the office opens.

Nothing with asprin. Tylenol and any 'Tylenol' product should be safe.

      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?
