My doctor took me off of Lasix & said not to take it any longer after I had the lapband surgery. I am wondering if anyone knows why?? I retain Water easily & am retaining way too much water again...I have already put a call into my doctor to ask if I can start taking lasix again, but thought I would ask on here while I wait...I drink alot of water all day & only go to the restroom 2x a day!! Thank you for your help. :thumbsup:

From the sounds of your post, your surgeon took you off the Lasix--but did your regular doc prescribe it to you?

Surgeons will temporarily take you off some medicine for the surgery-they might not interact well with the anestesia and other resons that, if I'd spent 12 years in school, I could tell you!

I would also put a call into your regular doctor, the one who prescribed it in the first place just to be on the safe side.

Asking your doctor is the right thing to do. Be sure and tell him how much Water you are getting and how seldom you are urinating, ok? Also unless you have another medical issue you didn't post about, you may want to check your salt intake. We're supposed to get around 2300 mg a day (2000 or less for people who are salt sensitive) so it's possible you're getting way too much salt.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
