HOW WILL THE SURGERY EFFECT ABSORBING MEDICATIONS?
There should be little or no change in the way your body absorbs medication. If you have the RNYGB or the Lap-Band, some changes in your medications might be necessary to allow passage through the outlet of your stomach pouch. We generally have patients avoid extended-release medications (in favor of multi-dose per day forms) to avoid the potential of poor absorption in those types of medications.
