Just be careful your pills are no bigger than an M&M. The tighter you get the more of a chance you won't be able to swallow pills and have them pass through the band. Did you know there's a list of meds you really shouldn't take with the band? It should be posted as a sticky above.
What I do is take liquid tylenol for adults (I get it at walgreens or ask your local supermarket to carry it...they will) or I use my pill cutter. For antibiotics, my doctor gives me liquid form.... btw lots of pills come in liquid form, you just have to ask. Swallowing a capsule and having it come back up is REALLLLLY gross lol.
Check this out...some meds can damage the pouch (Lapband).
