Furby036 60 Posted June 7, 2012 Why would your collar bone be sore? I'm going to guess gas or soreness from hernia or indigestion. Going to start taking Pepcid today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I have to go get some Jello to mis in my prilosec. I'm trying my hardest. I feel uncomfortable if I drink to fast or to much. I was nervous to take Prilosec it looked to big so im gonna do pepcid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ssilian 67 Posted June 7, 2012 Glad to hear everyone is okay! I'm a bit panicked - I get sleeved 6/14. So you all are able to swallow pills? I have two meds I have to take and that's one of the things I'm apprehensive about - swallowing a pill on post-op day 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenb4729 309 Posted June 7, 2012 No swallowing pills for me, I have to take the capsules apart and the actual pill ones I'm suppose to crush and put in something else like sugar free Jello or pudding.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have two meds I have to take and that's one of the things I'm apprehensive about - swallowing a pill on post-op day 2. I can't say anything about day 2, but I've been taking small pills since day 4. I think it will really be dependent on he size of the pill. If they are RX pills many of them can be compounded into chewable or crushable by any compounding pharmacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
