Lapband and OTC Medicines

[jendenni 0]

Hi there,

I have a question..... I have come down with a nasty cold and I am wondering what OTC meds are ok for me to take?

Also - tomorrow is my first fill, will they still give me a fill if I am sick? I hope so.....I need it so badly and have been looking forward to it!!!

Thanks! Jeni

Since you are going to the doctor tomorrow, it would really be best to ask him/her. Every doctor seems to have a different set of rules for their patients. I would think you could take anything that doesn't contain aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. I hope that you feel better soon.

I had ear infection and sinus infection when I got my first fill. In fact my fill doctor told me to get some sudafed 12 hour to stop the drainage. He said that was the reason I had a pb episode, cause of all the drainage. He said not to by the Sudafed PE stuff cause it is junk! He was very helpful. I don't think that getting a fill will be a problem unless you have the stomach flu.
