For me, Chronic back pain is the primary motivator for having a SG. Anyone share their experience crushing/taking pain and sleep meds after sleeve surgery.

I went on full liquids upon leaving the hospital and was able to easily take my meds without crushing anything.

Although your dr has to be the definitive answer, My dr said as long as a pill was dime size or smaller it was fine to take. I have psoriatic arthritis with hip, knee and back pain. Before surgery I was on remicaid every 6 weeks but had to skip a dose. I still took Advil multiple times every day and occasional narcotics in the evening. I am only 2 weeks post op and pain has not been an issue. I switched to liquid Tylenol post op instead of Advil and the lortab I was given is liquid. I also would swear I already am experiencing less pain and I think it has to do with the increased water. It's worth the transition!
