Hi! I am new, so forgive me if this thread has been posted before. I am in the process of getting LapBand surgery and wanted to know how I can take Cymbalta after surgery. Does anyone know if it comes in a liquid or if the pills are small enough to be swallowed (about the size of a rapid release tylenol).

Also, will the pills dissolve as they are supposed to?

Thanks for any info you can give me!

I would say if you take it with plenty of Water, you can flush it through your band into your regular stomach. I take all sorts of capsules and some of them are pretty big.

I take them with warm water, as warm things open the band.

Hi. I am bipolar type 2 and cymbalta is just one of mant meds I take. I started out by opening capsules and swallowing the foul stuff inside. But in the last day or so, I am going back to swallowing my smaller pills. I've had no problems and I'm 5 days post surgery. The warm water things sounds like a good idea.

I take cymbalta and had 4 fills already and dont have problem with it............

I too take cymbalta as one of my many meds too, (2 caps a day) and I have been wondering about taking them. Actually I've been worried about taking all of meds, and am wondering if other have problems or not.

I am not getting my band for another 6 months but I want to be prapared when the time comes!
