Yes thank you I am glad to know that I can take my meds,  Are you able to swallow big pills, because some of my meds are large pills??  thanks for your info!

I take my blood pressure medicine with just a sip of water and follow it with something crunchy-my surgeon actually told me to eat a biscotti because the dry crunchy food helps to break up the mucous plug (gross, but accurate) that closes the band opening when you sleep.
