LaManche 1 Posted August 16, 2013 Hi Sleevers. I was just wondering how soon after your sleeve operation you guys started taking 'normal' (i.e. insoluble) Lansoprazole and other tablets as opposed to the soluble or liquid versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macy6 356 Posted August 16, 2013 I am pre op but my surgeon said I can start taking my normal prescriptions and will be offered liquid or pill form of tylenol two days after surgery. I suppose every surgeon is different, it was my question though, I have two anti depressants and I need to get one switched to not extended release, however I was not wanting to have to crush them.

MIJourney 490 Posted August 16, 2013 They stopped most of my meds in the hospital but the ones I took when I got home I had no problem swallowing. Included pill and capsule form. Dr said it should not be a problem and it wasn't:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanks51 214 Posted August 16, 2013 I had pills in the hospital, the day after my surgery - I also broke them into two halves to make swallowing a little easier. Here in the UK, I was never offered liquid medication. I didn't have any problems with the tablets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
