I take a BP bill, thyroid pill, and biotin every morning and have never had to crush them, or had them get stuck. I drink water all day long - about 100 ounces a day. I've been banded 5 months and have never thrown up.
I don't know that many bandsters physically can throw up after surgery; what they refer to as "throwing up" is most likely what we call "PB-ing"...or "productive burping". It's bringing up whatever may be stuck between the band and your throat. But honestly, I've been stuck about 10 times and never had to bring food back up. I just stop what I'm doing, take deep breaths, and ride it out.

After my surgery I went to taking no more meds! except 1/2 of my high blood pressure pill which I put into my shake. Everything else is chewable.I take all chewable vitamins and minerals from Bariatric Advantage. When I came home from the hospital my 3 meds were liquid and I only used them for a short time except the liquid Zantac was for one month. It's a new life. Sharon Osbourne has been banded for over 10 years and looks great.

been banded nearly 5 months and havent thrown up once
