Capsule medications



Recommended Posts

I have a quick question, I seem to have come down w/a sinus infection this week. I have some decongestion medication that was prescribed to me before my lap-band surgery in March 07, it is a capsule w/the little beads in it. Has anyone tried to swallow meds like that?? Im just scared it might get stuck. Any help is appreciated! By the way, I just hit 50lb lost today! YEAH...:whoo:

I swallow capsules all the time. I use warm Water and make sure to drink a lot of it while taking the capsule.

Just remember that anything warm opens the band. I take

all my medications with warm Water and lots of it.

It really depends on the person.. my neighbor has a hard time with any gel pills.... i don't know about the gel pills for myself but i am currently on amoxicillan capsules and they don't bother me as long as i have something lit with it or right after... (like yogurt of something like that)

      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?
