I am assuming you had rny no motrin, mobic, asprin, alieve, or other meds known as nonsteriodal antiinflamatory drugs except for ibuprofin GEL CAPS. no time released medications (they don't work the same for us) no alka seltzer (the bubbles and the aspirin) whenever in doubt call the doctor

I was givem MS Contin which is a time released morphine, my pharmacists said it is not good for gastric bypass patients???? The vicodin is no longer working? Why can't we take time release? My doctor wants to try oxycontin for me instead of the morphine because the morphine made me very sick. I am NOT an addict, I have a shattered disc, they cannot operate and I have degenerative disc disease, plus siatica and I am in pain everyday. Why no time release? I tried norco and that worked sometimes, but i needed to take it every 4 hours.

My doctor gives you a very large list preop on what you can not take. I would suggest asking your doctor.
