Is taking Vitamins a problem with the Lap Band ?

I have a 10cc band, filled to 6.4cc and I was wondering if taking pills would be a problem. I want to take this vitamin for my hair and its a capsule pill. May be a silly question, but I dont want it to get stuck. Thanks for any help!

I have been taking Vitamin B in capsule form, goes down easily!

I take liquid vitamins because the capsule's get stuck for me. Bands are fickle creatures!

Thanks guys! I don't think this one comes in liquid form. But I will have to see what I will do.

They have Biotin that is good for the hair in a pill form that melts in under your tongue. I also take vitamin B-12 that melts under your tongue. I also take chewable multi-vitamins.

Thanks for all of your help guys!

I take full-sized multi-vitamins with no problem. It depends on your fill level. Can you open the capsules and mix them in something?
