Hi Sleevers. I was just wondering how soon after your sleeve operation you guys started taking 'normal' (i.e. insoluble) Lansoprazole and other tablets as opposed to the soluble or liquid versions.

I am pre op but my surgeon said I can start taking my normal prescriptions and will be offered liquid or pill form of tylenol two days after surgery. I suppose every surgeon is different, it was my question though, I have two anti depressants and I need to get one switched to not extended release, however I was not wanting to have to crush them.

Hi they gave me pills in the hospital. i had to break them in two and take half at a time.

I'm two weeks out and I still have to crush my meds.

I cut them in half and take them with applesauce or pudding. I still take liquid hydrocodone for pain.

They stopped most of my meds in the hospital but the ones I took when I got home I had no problem swallowing. Included pill and capsule form. Dr said it should not be a problem and it wasn't:)

I had pills in the hospital, the day after my surgery - I also broke them into two halves to make swallowing a little easier. Here in the UK, I was never offered liquid medication. I didn't have any problems with the tablets.

Thanks everyone for your replies
