Hi everyone,
I met with Psych, fitness, dietician today, they also included pharmacy to go over all of our medications including over-the-counter and supplements.
I had a heart attack a year and a half ago, I don’t have any stents nor did I have any blockages. I’m on beta blockers and Calcium channel blocker‘s, aspirin and Lipitor. Some of these have to be adjusted because they’re extended release, but the main issue is the aspirin.
The pharmacist stated that because I am now a bariatric surgical patient Motrin and aspirin I can no longer take. This poses an issue because I am supposed to take 81 mg of aspirin a day. I do have to get cardiac clearance from my cardiologist before proceeding with the surgery,. I was wondering if there are any cardiac patients here that have gone through this?
Thanks!
