Cold/ flu with bypass



Recommended Posts

What can you take for the cold and flu? I know anything with Tylenol. How about Musinex? Any suggestions are helpful. I spoke to my Dr s nurse and she said nasal spray and Tylnol. No help.

My understanding is you can take regular ole mucinex as long as it is not extended release...along with being able to take sudafed, dimetap, robitussin and some other cough meds (if you can tolerate them ) and they are not extended release and any tylenol product BUT you shoudl really follow your drs advice :)

Hope you feel better soon!

I had my surgery yesterday. I told them I took Mucinex the day before and that was fine with them. They said I can continue that after surgery as well. But I guess the antibiotics helped me and I don't need it as of now.

      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?
