Have you experienced malabsorption with medications and the sleeve?

Hello! I am a pre op patient. My doctor has recommended I have he sleeve procedure because of medications I am taking now. I have an autoimmune condition. I know the malabsorption isn’t as bad with VSG as it is with RNY. I am terrified that all my other meds will stop working after the surgery- specifically antidepressants, etc. Does anyone have experience with this? Unfortunately I called the doc office and the nurse didn’t really give me any info. Thanks !

Briswife15 —- me too. I have terrible reflux but don’t want my other meds not to work. So which do I go for?! Ugh. Thanks for the responses. I will have to see if I can get a message to the doc because there nurse couldn’t answer the question.
