Taking Pills and getting fills! :)



Recommended Posts

I was wondering because I can't remember discussing this with my doctor, if we will ever be able to swallow a pill again. I am off of one medication, which is awesome, but I still have three more and one of them I doubt I will get away with because of weight loss.

Also - I am going to be 2 weeks post op this coming Monday and was wondering when most people start getting fills. I am so hungry on this liquid diet and am looking forward to some more support with my fill.

I don't have a problem with any of my pills. They are from tiny to huge. I can even do 3 or 4 at a time. I do blood pressure which is small, but my multi Vitamin is large. In the early stage I did a chewable but once that bottle was gone I went back to pills.

I also take a handful of pills every day. From thyroid meds to antidepressants to pain pills. I'm also still on 1/2 my dosage of blood pressure pills (hoping to be off soon tho!). I've never had a problem taking them. I have to remember to take them about an hr before I eat tho - just in case I get stuck I won't throw up my pills also. Plus I can't take them after I eat because I can't drink anything for an hour.

Ask your doctor tho. My doc says as long as I can tolerate them, then go ahead and take them.

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
