I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow and I have a head cold, surgeon says it is okay to have so long as my lungs are clear, which they are, but I have just a general question. What happens when you do get sick and need to take antibiotics, what do they give you liquid, do you crush it up or what?

Thanks,

A few months ago I had to take a round of 5 separate antibiotics. I crushed them and would use drinkable yogurt to get them down w/o tasting them.

So can you pretty much crush or dissolve any antibiotics or are there certain ones you can't?

Well obviously things like enterics would be out.

If you get to the point that you need a RX for anything, antibiotic or not, just make sure your doctor knows you are banded and may have problems passing even small pills into your stomach. It's their job to know from there what you can or can't have. Or at least to look it up.
