I am scheduled to have laparoscopic bariatric surgery on 12/28/06 & I would like to know if I can continue to take my daily RXs in their pill forms or if they will be too large/too many for my newly formed small stomach. I am taking 1 Glucovance 2.5/500mg pill (2x daily), Topamax 125mg, Lasix 20mg, Pravachol 40mg, Ambien 10mg, & all the Bariatric Advantage vitamin suppliments I will have to be on. I hope to lose the Glucovance, Lasix, & Pravachol within a few months of surgery, but I am concerned because most of my medications can't be crushed to powder form... is this true? I know Glucovance is time released... and I think the Topamax is too.... Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated as I prepare for my life change! Thank you to everyone that answers!!!
