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.
once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

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 just posted about this a couple of days ago, wondering if anyone had experienced their meds not working after surgery. My official diagnosis is Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depression and Bulimia. I have been taking Topamax and Geodon. They both came in capsule form so for the six weeks after surgery I opened the capsules and swallowed them with a sip of water. Now I'm experiencing an increase in my depression so I asked my doctor about the absorption. She just added liquid Prozac to the mix. Best of luck to you!
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?
