I just took 3 pills (multivitamin and 2 daily medications) at the same time. I didn't even think. The second I swallowed, I thought "oh crap". Will I live? Will I block something up? Eeeeek!! Please tell me its ok, just don't make a habit of it....

I do that every day. Twice in the morning (4 pills of regular medication) then about 1 hour later 4 Vitamins. If I drink too much Water, I get a little tummy ache, but nothing more adverse than that.

You should be fine. I've taken some larger than normal pills since my surgery and haven't had any issues. Bear in mind everyone is different but you should be fine.

I take a handful of supplements at a time twice per day. It looks like you were just sleeved, so I bet it wasn't comfortable, but the pills should dissolve and move through just fine. May want to pace yourself or cut the large pills in half (if it's safe with that medication) for a while!

Nope you should be fine. My doc asks us not to stack pills like that but your stomach acid should make short order of them relatively quickly!

      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?
