Bat, capsules are fine as long as they aren't time released meds. Time released meds are usually in capsule form so you will want to check on those. You want something that is immeadiate release. You also may have some problems absorbing enteric coated meds. Those are made to break down in your small intestines and since a lot of your small intestines has been bypassed you may not absorb them as well.
I think this was the thread Chia was refering to:
Taking meds post-op. Some things you need to know!
