ValleyGirlRN 32 Posted June 25, 2012 I'm not on any prescribed meds, therefore never really thought about this before...Do we need to decrease the doses of meds, such as over the counter meds (ie benadryl, tylenol, motrin)??? I know with alcohol the absorbtion rate is quicker, was wondering if anyone had input on this?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Gastric Bypass patients that have the absorption issues because the intestines have been re-routed. Not Lap-Band patients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
