Are we able to take capsules?

I cant remember if my Dr. said we can or can't take capsules with our new tummy. Thanks!

My doc says it's fine once you get a few months out. You just don't want them stuck in your pouch. It could be uncomfortable until it dissolves.

I have been taking capsules (Nexium) since the day I got home from the hospital. They were prescribed by my surgeon.

Im only 4 days post op and my surgeon sent me home with capsules and pills only. I take a capsule pill for gas, a prilosec and my oxycodone which i cut in half, and a biotin. Ive been fine with them. I take each pill with a fair amount to help it go down and i space 1 minute with each pill swallowed. Im sure you can

Lacey -- the day of surgery my surgeon said I could take anything if is less than 1/2" immediately. I have been. Bigger pills (like flax seed oil) are easy too. No worries.

The only thing I remember dr telling me is we should not take time release capsules because our tummy will dissolve before the rest of the dose released.
