I just took 3 pills (multivitamin and 2 daily medications) at the same time. I didn't even think. The second I swallowed, I thought "oh crap". Will I live? Will I block something up? Eeeeek!! Please tell me its ok, just don't make a habit of it....

I do that every day. Twice in the morning (4 pills of regular medication) then about 1 hour later 4 Vitamins. If I drink too much Water, I get a little tummy ache, but nothing more adverse than that.

You should be fine. I've taken some larger than normal pills since my surgery and haven't had any issues. Bear in mind everyone is different but you should be fine.

I take a handful of supplements at a time twice per day. It looks like you were just sleeved, so I bet it wasn't comfortable, but the pills should dissolve and move through just fine. May want to pace yourself or cut the large pills in half (if it's safe with that medication) for a while!

Nope you should be fine. My doc asks us not to stack pills like that but your stomach acid should make short order of them relatively quickly!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
