At the pre op key program, the surgeon said to use Robatusson sf (sugar free) for diabetics, and also make sure it is alcohol free too. Btw congrats on the weightloss.

Hi there, Colleen! When I had a bad cold 3 weeks ago, I was taking Robitussin, but I have a list that someone gave me in the yahoo wls group I'm in. Here it is. Hope you feel better soon.

I had a horrendous cold and cough at 1 month post. My doc told me robitussen clear (it is sugar free). If the cough gets very bad, you can ask for a rx for Tesslon pearls. They are tiny yellow pills, and work wonders! (I am allergic to many meds, including codine- which is the usual cough suppresent) Hope you feel better soon.
