My surgeon told me, if possible, avoid any pill larger than a Skittle. He prescribed Prilosec but told me to break open the capsule and sprinkle on room temperature applesauce
I was also banded July 31. Trying to balance rest with walking, breathing exercises and just moving around. Could barely eat until thus morning but feeling better all the time.
The first 48 hours were very rough, was convinced I had made a BIG mistake. But as I improve I am starting to look forward to a lighter, healthier future.
