Tablets and capsules

[walkerbf2 0]

Hi, My sleeve is booked for late November. I take other medications including capsules and tablets. Will I be able to get them down?

I was told not to take anything bigger than a baby aspirin for a month. I have switched some of my Vitamins to sublinguals and take a multi capsule from Bariatric Advantage. The capsule is bigger, but it breaks apart as soon as it hits your stomach (that's what I was told).

Good question! Was wondering about the same thing! I take two horse sized Vitamins and some other capsules and pills.. I'll have to ask my surgeon

I was told together tablets and non time release then crush everything the first 6 weeks except the chewable a and liquids etc. personally I'm afraid to take the pills since we can just sip so I'm find with crushing them if needed for as long as needed .

I can't swallow pills for 3 months. All my Vitamins are chewable or sublingual. Any capsules I open up and eat with a spoon of yogurt. Anything else would have to be crushed.

I take multiple medications in capsule and pill form and had zero pill taking restrictions. In the hosp there were a few I put off taking for a few days, then when I was released home I could take them again 1 at a time over the course of a 5 min apart. Now I am back to being able to take them as I did prior all in 1 fell swoop per dose. The first 2 months was a slow go but I'm back to normal ńow. I also had a hiatial hernia repair with my sleeve Be patient and as to my Vitamin I take the opurity chewable and use a pill cutter to cut it into 4 pieces and chew 1 at a time as it's too powdery for me to chew it all at once.
