In reply to Considering gastric bypass - med questions, posted by prettygoodpatient on November 4, 2012, at 19:40:56
> Hello all,
> I'm considering gastric bypass surgery and I'm concerned about my body's ability to take in meds afterwards. I know many of the meds I take can be gotten in liquid form. Does anyone on this board have experience with psych medication and gastric bypass surgery?
>
> I'm biplor and I currently take Depakote, Saphris, Risperdal and Klonopin.I know someone who had a similar type of surgery. They had a problem with all medication afterwards but were able to make adjustments most of the time. If you don't get enough answers here (and I suspect not many of our posters have first hand experience with this) I think you may get better answers on a forum specializing in the surgery and asking about medications in general.
