I had the LAP-Band in 2012 and I'm wondering if someone can explain why SR & ER medications are not permissible. For those considering surgery, I am very pleased with my results. I lost 60 pounds...

They are! As long as they are small enough to swallow without cutting, there is no problem at all. Our digestive systems are unchanged! We don't malabsorb anything.

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

Kate is correct we are just the same as normal folks as far as meds and vitamins go we absorb everything just fine. Some surgeons just cut costs by giving out the same information for all surgeries. I don't understand why because it is very misleading to those of us who aren't affected by malabsorbtion.
