Anyone had sleeve already and on med's for depression, anxiety, have you noticed that your meds work the same or do you notice changes. This is my biggest concern that my meds won't work right. I can't go thru the "lets try this and that med again". Took a long time to get stabilized. Any comments please.
silly question right. How long did it take you to get back to work?
Why wouldn't your meds work right after the sleeve? The sleeve doesn't cause malabsorption like RNY or DS.

thanks for your reply. I was just concerned that with a smaller stomach that perhaps the meds would somehow now work?
Dr.s said the metabolism of meds takes place in the small intestine not the stomach. I just get worried, getting my date tomorrow and having all sorts of doubts, concerns etc.
Yeah, most stuff gets absorbed in the small intestine.
