Rolaids okay 5 days before BA?

Thank you for your question. Yes, rolaids are fine to take prior surgery. However, I would inform your plastic surgeon. 

Thank you for your question Smallmommy. Rolaids are fine to take in the days leading up to your surgery. No need to get clearance from your surgeon. Best of luck. 

There should be no problem in taking Rolaids in the days before surgery. You should let your surgeon know about your heartburn as he or she may want to address this at the time of surgery as well.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Should not be a problem.   I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Yes that is fine to take before surgery. There's no contraindication. You might experience more heartburn and nausea post surgery, so just be aware to have the proper meds from your physician.

Thank you for your question.   Anti-heartburn medications can be useful after any surgery.   Please run everything by your plastic surgeon prior to taking anything.   Make sure you also have had a bowel movement by now if not you may need laxatives.   Best of luck 

Yes, over the counter antacids such as rolaids or tums should not be a problem at all.  Good luck, Jane. 

Dear Smallmommy,it should be safe to use, however, every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Hello!  Thank you for your question!  I do not see any reason why you would not be able to take this or any other OTC antacid. Certainly, be sure with your surgeon as well as ensure that the medications that you take are not on the list of medications not to take pre/post op. Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Good afternoon and thank you for your question.Rolaids and other antacids will have no affect if taken in the days prior to your surgery. You will be completely fine and there should be no need to contact your plastic surgeon.Have a nice day.
