Taking meds after banding

Hey banders! There are probably threads discussing this already, but since I haven't been able to locate them I thought I'd ask the question... how do you swallow pills after being banded if everything is supposed to be chewed really well? I'm really curious about this. I don't take many, multivitamin, calcium, occasional tylenol, but it just occurred to me that it could be difficult to do that in the future.

Anyone had a problem with this??

Thanks!!

JB

I've been on antibiotics since Monday and I haven't had any trouble swallowing them. They are in regular-sized capsules.

I tried crushing my pills at first and NOT HAVING it . :sick I take wellbutrin that is about the size of an M&M I could probably swallow it with out a problem but I chose to cut it in half to make sure i dont have any problems .

I take another pill for my migraines that are the size of a birth control pill and I swallow those whole. Anything over the size of my wellburtin i cut.

or like Tylenol i take Liquid tylenol or the meltaways I dont take any chances
