Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted June 11, 2016 I didn't have any trouble taking my meds starting the day after surgery. Definitely talk to your surgeon about what you are taking and he or she can give you some guidance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melissajoi 6 Posted June 11, 2016 The time release may have to be change because they can't be crushed. If it's small enough you maybe able to just take them. Mine were small enough I was taking them the day of my surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindyw41 761 Posted June 11, 2016 Your surgeon should definitely go over your meds with you. Mine did at my Pre op appointment and then again before I left the hospital. He let me know which ones to hold off on, when to start taking them again etc. I had to stop taking my metformin Xr. I had to crush my meds for 4 weeks post op but I only last 3 weeks. They taste nasty! At 3 weeks I had no issue swallowing them one at a time. Now at 5 months out I can swallow all 5 at once.
