Wellbutrin XL and a VSG...??

Does anyone know if you can take a medication like wellbutrin XL (which is extended release) if you have a VSG? I'm fairly certain that you can't if you have an RNY, but I'm not sure about the VSG.

Anyone currently taking this medication post surgery?

Thanks for the info,
Sandy

I am not on Wellbutrin, nor did I have VSG. My advice would be to discuss your med questions with your surgeon, and get the information directly from him/her. I had RNY, and I take quite a few meds, which I assume dissolve in my pouch before passing through.

Good luck.
