I am pending a Sadi revision to my sleeve and I know it’s pretty close to DS so I am looking for info from people with knowledge of both surgeries. I have read a couple of people mentioning issues with meds not absorbing properly making it difficult to treat common medical issues. Is this common post SADI or DS?

I didn’t really know to ask that question at my pre op appointment and I don’t see the surgeon again before surgery day. I do see my primary Dr for pre op clearance so hopefully she will have some answers but I was hoping to get some first hand answers.

I had the TDS in 2005. Some medication amounts do have to be determined by trial and error.

When possible, I do intravenous or injection (eg osteoporosis meds). When it’s thing like antibiotics, I haven’t seen much of a change. But it’s something I discuss with each prescribing doctor.

Oh good. That helps make me feel better. I read a couple of things where people said they had issues with like bladder infections that wouldn’t go away and blamed it on the absorbtion of the meds. It scared me a little.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
