Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I have been taking pills since about 5-6 weeks out, and now I can take even a prenatal. Just make sure you eat a bit before ( 30 mins or so before unless otherwise directed) and drink a lot with it so you make sure it goes down.da6bearz wrote: Hi Sherrie,I am just about 6 weeks out and I have been taking Capsuls and pills since about 2 weeks out and I have had no problems what so ever.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Did you develope Acid Reflux? I think I do have the generic version its called Omeprazole 20mg. Tina wrote: I'm almost 8 months post-op and I take capsules just fine (and have since shortly after surgery). I take a generic prilosec that Dr. Baggs prescribed for me after surgery. See if your surgeon will prescribe you the generic version. I get a 90 day supply for $10. Not bad!Tina>> Hi There,> > I am about 5 weeks out from having the WLS outside of Kaiser and I > have developed acid reflex.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sherrie This is what I take for my acid reflux and to make life simple I just open the capsule and put the granules in my mouth and some water and it's so easy, that's what I was told to do and it works fine.
