ElseeG 67 Posted January 25, 2018 Hi. Can people generally continue to take whatever medicines they need to take right after surgery? Or do you have trouble keeping things down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aster8901 3 Posted January 25, 2018 It is pretty uncomfortable but yrs you can just take a small sip and with till it passes or break it in half if possibleSent from my LG-K428 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewBeginnings2018 81 Posted January 25, 2018 I had one day off medicine and then went right back to taking my pills. I need to spread them out a bit, but have had no issues including the big anti-acid pill they had me take starting the day after surgery. It was pretty scary, not going to lie, but I've had no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted January 25, 2018 After surgery I found that I could no longer swallow large or even medium size pills. So I used pill splitters and pill crushers. After about 2 months post-op, I regained my ability to swallow and then life was great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
