First Fill 1/9

why would you have to grind your pills?I am sorry but not understanding your post???????

I've also wondered about grinding pills, b/c my surgeon's office tells LAP band patients the same stuff as gastric bypass patients. I've had 2 very small fills....I think I have about 3 or 3.5 cc's in a 10cc band. I have pretty good restriction and I am able to swallow tylenol capsules as well as a pretty big glucosamine supplement. I'm using a chewable vitamin, but have had no problem swallowing others I mentioned. I'm not crushing everything. Don't think it is necessary.

You know, my surgeon and staff told me the same thing. I have a chewable vitamin, but from day 3, I was able to swallow my meds and Advil liqui-gels. I agree with bandedehs - not necessary, but see how you feel. Everyone is different.

I got stuck on a ibprofin 800 and that was enough for me I went on oral liquide meds
