My surgeon said sleevers,at 6 weeks post op can take almost any over the counter cold meds . Just have to be careful with pills. Make sure u cut anything big into small pieces....try to use liquid remedies first...such as theraflu...alka selter...as these can be counted toward ur daily liquid goal as well!!

I have had the crud since Wednesday, and have been taking over the counter flu and cold medication, but if you are unsure talk to your team. there's no information about how far out from surgery you are or anything.

the biggest problem for me has been staying hydrated. a couple of times I have been afraid I might need IV fluids, but I managed to chug down enough to keep me going. the hubs has been keeping a close watch on me.

I hate missing work for not fun things BOO. Hope you feel better right quick.

I'm 6 days out and am flirting with a cold - hurts so much to cough. Luckily it's mostly stayed away, but I'm not doing my usual battle of Vitamin c overdose, chicken noodle Soup, mucinex. Hope we all feel better soon!

      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?
