Is it okay for us with the gastric bypass to take a water pill (like diurex ... OTC)? I'm bloated like no ones business and no matter how much I drink... I'm not expelling enough. I can barely bend my fingers I'm retaining so much water. Stupid pms :(  I'm 6 months post op...

My doctor put me back in supervised water pills 2 months after surgery.  I was bloated, retaining water and severly uncomfortable.  I know that not all of us will be able to discontinue every pill we took before surgery.. it is a case by case basis.  I would schedule an appointment with my doctor.  They know what to look for and will give you an opinion based on their expertise and knowledge of your medical history.

I have not had any side effects and happy I went to him when I did... it is a miserable feeling retaining water and not releasing it as we should.

I hope this helps,

Evelyn

I have read/heard of people taking them. I don't think they would cause a problem as long as you drink enough water (more than the 60oz minimum). I actually woke up this morning thinking about taking one after feeling swollen from salty thanksgiving food. lol

check with your doctor. My surgeon told me absolutely not when asked about taking Lasix.
