Nope. I am over 2 years out now, but I never had any issues. For the first 6-8 weeks after sugery I believe they generally suggest you avoid taking larger pills, but I would discuss that with your doctor.

I did have some problems for a few months after surgery. I either used chewables or crushed everything and mixed it with hot sauce (Tabasco) to cover the taste.

I am still on chewable Vitamins but my other tablets re quite small and have never been an issue. I stuck to the suggested 3 months of not taking tablets, rather liquids or ones that melt in the mouth.

The only one I had trouble with was the Bariatric AE Multi-Vitamin which would choke a horse. I cut them in fours and tried to mash it up in cinnamon applesauce, but the bitter taste made me puke. So, I ended up switching to a Walgreen's Women's Over 50 multi and take two instead of one. Some folks have even taken Flintstones Chewables until they got past this hurdle.
