is it true that gas bypass cant take softgel pills?

Im filling up my pill boxes and noticed my vit K, E, A OMEGA 3/6/9, ROYAL JELLY pills are all that softgel~clear type. I had a thought that for some reason I possibly couldnt digest them.
Is this correct?

I was never told that.  I take an Omega 3 that is a soft gel pill and never had a problem with it.  You might want to ask your Dr. though.

I never heard that , I take Colace and those are soft gels and Dr. recommended.


perhaps you heard something about Vit D ,  If you take Vit D like I do ,     it can`t be soft gel , it has to be dry, atleast that is what I was told.

ty girls. I dont have a dr. ( i know scarey and horrable. but no insurance now and cant afford a dr. also dont qualify for state aid or fin aide programs) this site is my life line and I appreciate the advice

I would switch to Optisource Chewables.  They taste like orange flavored candy and are an all-in-one vitamin & mineral supplement made specifically for Post Bariatric patients.  You take one with every meal and one at bedtime.  They are about the size of a TUMS.  It's easy simple and doesn't require any pill swallowing.  You can get them in Walgreens.  They cost about $27 for 120.

If you take these, you most likely won't need to take anyhing else.

Good luck.

Soft Gel's are ok but we can not take time released meds.
You should be fine. !/2 my supplements are soft-gels and my meds are always fine...Laurie

I actually take soft gels AND time released meds (with my doctor's and surgeon's approval) with no problem. Not sure the time release are 100% effective, but working fairly well, and better than popping pills 4X day. I also recently started taking citrical petites with no problems.
