Diabetes And Lapband

I've got a question for diabetics who are banded, how can you swallow your pills?

My parents are both diabetic and some of the pills they have to take are pretty huge

Thanx

I have never had trouble swallowing pills, except the few occassions I was way to tight and couldn't keep anything down. Once I got a slight unfill, I was fine. You can buy a pill crusher or pill splitter if it's needed. You could also look into liquid forms. But like I said, I never had any problem.
