You've posted this on the bypass board hun

But just to say, I have a band, and I was advised that I was able to take mine from day one I was advised tho that you could crush them, but some you have to confirm with a pharmacist as to whether they can be crushed ~ some have a coating on to protect the stomach linings and crushing can cause damage.

I'd check with your provider but also check out the meds you're on and see if they can be crushed. I've taken my migraine meds from day one without crushing.

Just that the post has been moved to the banders forum

I got one of my meds changed to liquid (Atenolol), and my GP says the bendroflumethiazide is water soluble (it's not so I crush it) and I crack open the Ramipril capsules. I mix it all up in apple juice which covers the nasty taste.

Hi

Don't forget when you first have the band fitted its not inflated so should not pose any restriction to tablets, once inflated that's a different question.

This isn't the case for everyone with a band at all, it actually appears here especially that it is more common for people to have a fill at the time of op than it is to have to wait. It seems only a couple of providers make patients wait ~ mine was at 5 weeks but a lot now have a considerable fill at op.

Some members on the band board have reported issues with ibuprofen etc and burning the stomach lining due to their band ~ this is why each person needs to check with their provider and in relation to the meds they are taking.

I posted moved, not move. I'm a moderator and moved your thread into the band section
