I had RNY gastric bypass 10 months ago. Is it safe to take Dramamine?

you can go to the doctor and get the patch for behind your ear its great and It does not make ya tired.

this works well on crouse ships and boat trips and air plains

Here's a list of meds that you can and can't take.

They are mostly pain meds.
Ask your dr if you aren't sure.

i would imagine if dramamine has asprin it would be a no no I thought i had some in the house to read the label but didnt. IF you phone your surgeon let us know the reply so we can add this to the can or cannot take list!

Thanks for the answers. I travel by air for my job and I'm not the pilot, so it really doesn't matter if it makes me sleepy
