DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted March 28, 2013 I also space out my pills. I find if I take them one immediately after another I also get a heavy feeling. Just a minute or two between them seems to do the trick. And btw, not all surgeons say no pills. I was just sent home from the hospital with pain killers in pill form- by my bariatric surgeon.

m1aman 944 Posted March 28, 2013 I was told by surgeon that any the size of an aspirin would be ok. That is what my doc says also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d9leigh 31 Posted March 28, 2013 I also had plication who I think made my stomach more sensitive due to swelling. Ya my doctor said just cut them and I've been fine. No "stuck" feeling or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldiebutgoodie2 11 Posted March 28, 2013 I had no trouble swallowing pills until I hit my green zone/sweet spot- luckily, since the band, I got to delete most of my pills!! But the Vitamins and Calcium are just too big now, so I found a small round Vitamin (generic brand at Safeway) and I get chewable calcium at costco.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
