  1. I am not sure who your doctor is, but I was told by my doctor not to take any whole pills for at least the first 6 months after your procedure. All your medications should be crushed if possible, chewable or in liquid form. There are a lot of chewable vitamins out there that you can take. My doctor told me that it takes very little to cause your band area to become irritated and swell around that area. Therefore, it makes it that much more difficult for anything to down. I am so very sorry to hear what you have been going through, but your surgery is too new to be swallowing pills. You should really be very careful with that. I am praying things work out for you.
