I know I've got to take a stool softener because things aren't working out down there. haha! I can't remember if we have to crush for a month or for three months? I'm thinking of crushing it just to be safe.

not sure what they recommend on that but I haven't had problems swallowing pills. I just do it at night before I go to sleep. I take my fish oil and sometimes a pro biotic. I was sleeved 10/4

My MD allowed me to swallow pills (one at a time, wait 5 minutes before another pill) the day after surgery. Every physician seems to differ with post-op instructions.
