extended release medications--problems for us??

[Guest guest]

Hiya! I know, I know, long time no post. Well, let's see...I got

married , we moved into a new house, went on a honeymoon to

Hawaii, had the two 20something kiddos move in with us (what a

mistake that was!), I was diagnosed with breast cancer (not to worry,

I'm OK!), had a mastectomy then a hysterectomy, had chemo, my job has

moved from Dallas to Houston...am I forgiven for not having the time

to keep up with this great list and group of people? I sure hope so!

Well, I'm writing with a question. I recall reading that we RNY

folks have some problems with absorption of timed-release

medications. Can someone tell me what exactly the problem is. My

doc seems to think everything will get absorbed in the intestines,

but I have this nagging doubt.

Thanks and it's glad to be back!

Much love,
