No one can predict how we go with drug absorption post surgery. As you have said there isn't a lot of research. What I've researched says that if you are allowed to crush the tablets than do so...and not to stop them. If you are on extended release medication then your psychiatrist needs to have a plan for you personally on how to manage that particular medication. Some people are switched to an alternative non sustained release med. Either way, anyone on medication needs close monitoring by their doctor. Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I know I can't predict what will happen but it's encouraging to know that it's possible not to have problems. Thanks Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm having a RYGB on 19th sept. Have a sleeve now. The reading I've done re post op complications and effects is freaking me out. All the comments re bad smelling farts etc. I work in the health profession and am around people constantly all day. I want to be able to keep working without passing bad gas and offending patients. How bad is it going to be?

Mine is sept 19th (Australia). Just saw the surgeon again today. Went well. Had all my questions answered. He agreed re the flatulence is manageable with the surgery I'm having. So am filling in all the hospital paperwork now. Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

i am about to have a conversion from a sleeve to a bypass - next month. Can you tell me what the changes were after you had this revision done? thanks

Thanks so much everyone. In my reading I was getting the impression that you were unable to control when you passed gas....if I can choose the when and where...that makes a lot of difference lol
