You can try putting the crushed up pills into some sort of liquid like crystal lite. I started taking all my small pills at 2 weeks post op.

I'm glad you're home an on the road to recovery and weightloss!

I am glad it was easy for you an everything went well!

So glad to hear that your surgery went well. I had my surgery with doctor aceves not long ago. Welcome to the sleeve club. :ohmy:

Re: the spinal block

I was not under when they did it. They were doing both the IV setup and the spinal block at the same time. I remember it very clearly. They inserted the needle twice and it hurt but I made myself strong. LOL. After that I do not remember anything until I woke up right after surgery. Didn't have any fog and was fully awake and alert. The spinal block is wonderful. It really helped with post-op pain. Dr. Aceves mentioned that it is offered on a case-by-case basis and not everyone gets it. Its then up to you to decide if you want them to administer the SB or opt out.

I don't remember anything about the spinal block. I must have been out in lala land already. I barely remember anything about the OR. I had a spinal block prior to my c-section 7 years ago and it didn't take, so I end up going under general and had loads of problems coming out. Needless to say, I had some anxiety about going under with Garcia. He was really professional and calming about it. When I told him my pregnancy spinal block didn't take, he very confidently said 'well, we'll do it right." Then we laughed.
