It's a blood pressure pill and is pretty small. I'll ask my doctor. My surgery is with Dr. Frantzides (director of non-invasive surgery) at Rush in Chicago. <PRE>Thanks Pam, I appreciate your input.

Our stomas are not very big. Usually they say the pill needs to be the size of or smaller than an M&M. (Can it be cut up and not lose the integrity?) The second question would be, what kind of pill is it? Does it dissolve easily.? After all, it doesn't have several hours in the stomach to get dissolved.

can take a pill after the surgery. Some people say they cannot. Others

they can. What experience do you all have with after-surgery pill
taking?
