Hi Folks ! Medication advice please ?

[Clare*]

Hello Lovely people,
I will be having a bypass soon-ish , and i take 27 pills a day (pain relief for spinal injury ) if i dont take them , i cant walk and am in dreadful pain, I have read that some people cant cope with tablets after surgery ? has anyone discoverd this ? and if so was it sorted in another way? I would be very happy to hear any stories.
BTW i am on Co-dydramol,Baclofen,Naproxen,Zomorph(tablet and liquid) Amitriptyline,Zopiclone and good old prozac! this is one of my questions for the hospital when i go on the 13th of may, but i thought i would do some investigating and educate myself in advance . Thanks for listening xxxx

I think they try to get you a liquid/soluble version of your meds as liquids will be easier for you...

You might find that your tolerance for pain meds changes after surgery. I became allergic to codeine and penicillin after my bypass.

I was booked in for a bypass, but surgeon spoke to me a couple of hours before op and asked me to consider the sleeve as im epileptic. Even though its controlled he said he didnt want the malabsorbtion to stop my medication working effectively, hence had the sleeve. Have a chat with your provider/surgeon.
