Medications and VGS (sleeve)
I've started a 3 month diet required by my insurance in order to get approved for the sleeve. Can anyone that has the gastric sleeve tell me what the experience is with taking medications? I take medications for MS so it is important that I continue these. They cannot be crushed. Is this situation a make or break for me?
You should be able to take your meds normally, and they will absorb normally, with a sleeve.
You may have a bit of difficulty with drinking during the immediate post-op period, though, so you might need to take the meds with less water ino the initial swallow and then follow up with additional sips of water to help wa**** through the sleeve.
