So I am wondering if any of you are on prescriptions and how you are taking them. I see many people say that they can't take large gulps of Water and if they sip more than three sips they upchuck what they drank. This worries me as I take 5 prescriptions at night. Just looking for a little info as my surgery is 3 weeks and 4 days away.

Depending on what it is for I held off taking mine for a couple of days. Tried crushing them which was impossible for me to take and then by day 3 just took them one at a time slowly. No problem. Hope your as lucky because crushed and liquid forms are yucky options

I am 4 days post op and can take my meds fine with a couple sips of Water. No big deal. I take 5 pills, one is a regular size capsule.

I took and still take numerous medications. I didn't have any problem swallowing, my problem was with being nauseous. Especially in the beginning, when you aren't eating food. I also had to spread the mess out, so not to take too many at once. I never had any problems with not being able to sip enough Water. I am almost 3 months post surgery and I can actually take some big "gulps" now.

I was taking 9 or 10 pills daily pre-op and when discharged I was taking 2 per day!! At my 2 week appt they added 1/2 a pill back for bp.

None were a problem to swallow.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
