What medicine are you required to take?

[Guest Moriah85]

I had a question for those who have been sleeved.

My mother and I had surgery May 7th in Cancun, Mexico.

What medication where you told to use for the next 3 months?

The medicine we were given is the Spanish brand and I'm not sure what it is.

Thanks!

This sounds like a great question for your surgeon. They should be able to provide you the name of your required medication in English. Meds are too dangerous to take based on what someone else may have been prescribed.

Thanks for your quick response. Although, I did not ask about any prescription medication. I was referring to over the counter medication.

I've seen people say they have to take prilosec(?). That's what I'm tying to figure out.

Thanks

I would also say contact your surgeon. Even OTC medications aren't something to just take anecdotally just because some people who have had surgery have taken it. Does the medication you were given also have a list of ingredients? Even if the brand name is in Spanish the actual name of the active ingredient is most likely in English or if you post that, someone here may be able to translate it. But against, the safest answer is to ask the surgeon's office
