Medication

How long are we supposed to be on liquid medications versus small tablets? I have some medications and I am not sure they come in liquid form.

Hi FL, Mr Ammori said I could still take my medications in tablet form after the op. I've had no problems. Just double check.

Good luck with the op, it won't be long now.

if the pills are little, then you should be ok to take them orally immediately post op believe it or not. If they are biggies like vitamin pills then its 8 weeks post op

Cool. I was worried about my anti-anxiety meds. I was put on them to deal with the twins health conditions and I cannot bear the thought of trying to come off them post op immediately.

Hi Hun - I was only on liquid tabs for 2 weeks, then I went onto bigger pills after - dont worry me love! x

I discovered my asthma tablets weren't crushable - after I'd been dutifully crushing them for two weeks so I just swallowed them whole and I didn't die. So I thought 'here goes' and just took the rest of my meds whole. It was fine. Mxx

I have been on normal tablets since having the op. Some of them are quite big, like the Metformin and capsules like the anti-gallstone caps, no problems. The multi-vits I was given are quite small, no idea what they are 'cos they are in a pharmacy bottle.

Thank you all so much. I feel much better with one less thing to worry about.
