Tuberculosis Medication- Harmful to WLS Recipients?

I got a positive reaction to my TB test in November, had a chest x-ray in December (which was negative)... still I carry this little germ around (no, I have NO IDEA where it came from) anyhow- The Doctor is putting me on Isoniazid for 6 mos/ as well as Pyridoxine (a fancy term for a B6 supplement). Concerns for the TB meds is it affecting my liver (You can be succeptable to Hepatitis while on this drug)- and the B6 is to be used in conjunction with the Isoniazid- but I have my concerns for my liver and our malabsorption issues. Anyone out there dealt with this? Any suggestions? My surgeon moved to So-Cal....
