Daily Medications

[RSM 69]

I take about 21 meds a day. Some are pretty big. Hopefully after my sleeve Sept. 19th has healed enough and I lose the weight I expect I can alleviate most of these. But for now I am concerned with absorption. Does any one have problems with their meds after their sleeve or any tips besides talking to my Dr.?, about absorption and best way to take them?

Thanks--

Talk to your surgeon about this. Your surgical team should be aware of all medications you're on. They may find alternate forms or have you crush some pills. It all depends. Work with your team - that's why they're there! Good luck!

problems with meds after sleeve

@RSM

all my docs had a list of my medicines pre-op

i take a lot of pills AM then a lot more PM

a couple of meds are "horse pills" absorption

problems aren't applicable to the sleeve. (covering

my assss to say usually not) but there shouldn't

be a problem. malabsorption (msp) is usually referred to

in gastric bypass surgery.

good luck
