Taking Medicine

[scarlet333 386]

My surgeon says can never have ibuprofen again after the sleeve, just acetominophen for headaches, colds etc. I use the liquid form of acetominophen for minor aches and pains since being sleeved 8 months ago but just wondering can we swallow pills now? Vitamins are chewables. Is it ever ok for pills? What if down the road I need a subscription - must I only have liquids?

I was allowed pills per my surgeon at 1 month (he preferred them split in two) but I now take my Vitamins, Tylenol, and my PPI in pill form every day, no issues and no problems. Been doing it since the 1 month point and I'm 6 months next week!

I started taking my Vitamins at 1 month post op. Most are chewable but I take 2 fish oil pills that are a decent size. They don't give me any problems. I did ask about Advil type products pre op. I sometimes get bad headaches/ Migraines and Tylenol does not help them. I was told Advil in over the counter strength was ok with the sleeve. But I know every surgeon is different.
