I need a copy of the list of medicines....

that RNY gastric bypass patients should and should not take.  I can't put my fingers on mine and a good friend just recently had the surgery and needs the list.  Thank you,

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
I keep watching the board to see if someone can answer your question about the meds.  I am not ignoring you, I just don't have the answer.  Like I said in my earlier post, I don't take meds.  Not even the vitamins I am supposed to take so I don't know what is good and what is bad.  Maybe some of the oldies like Elle, Gwen, Louise or some of the others will be on later and can give you the list you need.

Hi Rebecca, I think this is the one you are looking for:
