she has had RNY and I think of her as a vitamin guru - she has had big problems post-op because of crappy vitamin advice from her doctor and so has done a lot of research to take care of herself.

yes, hopefully your phych does understand it but...if I were you I'd research myself.

it's not like you can be too well informed and it's so important.

I did pm Andrea and she said she's no expert on this issue but I'll bet somebody is. just have to find them.

but if you have a vitamin/mineral issue, she's the one.

Jackie -

Who is Andrea U?

My physchiatrist works with Eating Disorder patients at Kaiser.  I would like to think she understands dosing for RNY patients, but I guess you never know.

I saw your post that the doc is now going to give you prozac in addtition.

not sure what kind of doctor you are seeing but do they know about WLS? I know  some meds are not absorbed normally with RYN so I wonder if your doctor is up on this?

have you posted your question on the RYN board or even sent a pm to somebody like Andrea U?
