I was taking whole pills immediately after surgery. They even gave me my hormone replacement whole in the hospital.

I got sleeved on Wednesday and they had me swallow a small pill on Thursday afternoon after my leak test. It's now Friday and I am taking prilosec, tramadol, and Lexapro in pill form. They are all small tablets, smaller than my pinky fingernail.

I was swallowing really small pills two days after surgery. Capsules and small pills once I got home The guideline they gave me was capsules are okay and pills the size of M&Ms or smaller are okay. Do not break or crush time released or extended release pills.
