I'm sure I'd seen something about time release medication

not working consistently in post-gastric bypass people,

particularly those who are distal. But the nurse

practitioner at my surgeon's office says there is absolutely

no problem, no way, never. Just wandering what others have

been told on the subject.

Best,

Time release doesn't work for me. Took me MONTHS to explain this to my

family practice doc! I try to stay away from any thing sustained release or

time released. Stick to the old fashioned tried and true stuff.

Sure would like to have had that nurse in front of me when I was

curled up in a ball, writhing in pain when my birth control pills

weren't as effective and I had ovarian cysts popping.... or when my

antidepressant seemed to fizzle out and I couldn't even get out of

bed. So much easier for them to repeat something they heard without

having experienced it.

I had several extensive consultations with my pharmacist prior to my

surgery (RNY, open and distal, 05/29/02). He adamently agrees that

time release medications are not appropriate for people who have had

a part of their small intestines bypassed. He said that the delay in

release of the medication combined with the bypass would certainly

make them less effective and in the case of distal procedures,

possibly make them virtually ineffective. He strongly urged me to

make sure that any prescription I got from doctors (or RNP's) be for

standard rather than time release formulas. And he told me I would

probably have to use my persuasive powers on some of them, as they

would not totally understand how the medication would respond to our

altered digestive tracts.
