I am over a year and 3 months out from gastric bypass surgery and lately I have been getting a burning pain in my chest every time I take my prescription medications and vitamins in the morning. This just started a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Sometimes I feel that when I take the larger pills like ursodiol or prilosec. I still take chewable vitamins but I plan on switching to capsules when my stockpile dwindles

I took tylenol extra strength tablets last night, but I did bite them in half before swallowing them.

I'm less than 2 months out from surgery, so I don't know if it's normal, but I got similar kinds of swallowing issues when I had the lap band, so I guess I'm used to it.

Try taking your pills in applesauce. I did that for years and years after my surgery because my vitamins and other supplements made me so nauseated. It worked. If that doesn't help, take famotidine about an hour before taking your pills and see if that makes a diff.
