The flu is going around at work so I was hoping someone had a list or link to what perscription meds to stay away from or that are better tolerated by our pouches. Suggestions on antibiotics & cough syrups.

Thanks

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

If it's really the flu, antibiotics won't help much. I got a flu shot, so hopefully I'm set. I've heard that a Tamaflu shot works well when you begin to get symptoms if you haven't had a flu shot. but OTC meds won't help much with the flu.

FYI: Tamiflu is a capsule, not a shot. You can get it only through prescription, and you need to get started on it within 48 hours of th onset of the symptom, and you shouldn't take it unless you test positive for a flu test--there are simple flu tests, nasal swab that takes only 10-15 mins to get the results.
If you're interested, here's the link to the drug info page set up by Rhoche, the pharmaceutical co that markets Tamiflu.

Yes you can. I had RNY in 2006. On a recent visit to my cardiologist about a pacemaker, the doctor asked me if I had my flu shot this year. So I got one and no problems afterwards. 4 days later I had a pacemaker implant surgery. No complications from either because of RNY surgery.

If you want a flu shot, get it early in the season, since it takes a couple of weeks before the immunity really kicks in.
