Medications

It has been awhile since my surgery. Can we sleevers now take tablet medications are do we still need to take capsules?

I'm not familiar with this rule and have been taking tablet medications before and after surgery with no adverse reactions.

Thank you for your reply!

I have been taking tablets and capsules since the beginning ,nearly 10 yrs now, with no problem.

Thank you hollykim! (I was just wondering about absorption).

I was talking pills 2 days post op. Pain pills. Some pills shape or surface roughness affect if I can comfortably take them, or not.

Some tables are more difficult forme t take than others. Size of the tablet, plus how quickly gets desolved in my gut... For new meds I try see how well quickly it starts disintegrating. I take one pill and place it in a little bit of water and watch that. Sometimes I have to break the pills in half.

Most of the times - warm water helps dissolving the pills.

In first few years, most really large pill got stuck, or felt like they got stuck. So many years post op, that doesn't happen very often, if any.

I still personally prefer capsules. It s easier for me to swallow them. I often can take a few capsules at one time, but most large pills I have to take one at a time.

Thank you! (I am taking two the size of horse pills!)
