Im on a few meds and am wondering how to handle it.

I havent gotten my band yet but am wondering how others

deal with this since I wont be able to just take my handful

of pills and swallow. does anybody take meds and how do

you get them down?:smile2:

I'm not banded yet but since I take a handfull of meds I had the same concerns. When I spoke with the Anasethiologist<sp> she said that after speaking with one of the LB docs he told her that pills really arn't as big a problem as some people think.

Small pills should be easy. Larger pills, that can be crushed or cut, should be. Take pills one at a time and maybe with applesauce or Jello to help them go down smoothly. Since you can't take a big ol' drink of Water to wash them down.

I've invested in liquid versions of my supplements for right after surgery and to use after fills. My other meds are small enough and crushable I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that it should be ok. But from what I'm hearing I won't know for sure until after being banded and I start to take them.

Good Luck
