taking antibiotics after gastric sleeve
Check with your surgeon or PCP for this medication.
For future medications, tell/remind the prescribing physician that you have the Sleeve and ask if the medication is okay for use as a post-op. When I pick up the prescription, I also ask the pharmacist just to make sure. Even though my doctor knows I've had RNY, I still have to remind him. There have been a few times that he changed the medication or dose. After I've confirmed with the pharmacist that a certain medication is okay for my WLS, once he called my PCP to discuss it.
I'm not familiar with that particular medication, but remember---a Sleeve is still a fully-functional stomach, just smaller. Also, antibiotics, like almost everything else, is absorbed in the gut, NOT the stomach. With a Sleeve, you have no intestinal bypass so you *should* be able to take anything post-op that you could pre-op.
