Prescriptions after Sleeve

    I have been reading about the do's and don'ts after sleeve and one article was about medication, (I think it was an article by Mayo Clinic). It says that meds must be crushed and may absorb differently after surgery. I got the impression this was the first few months after surgery but not sure. Does everyone now crush their meds? and vitamins? the article also talked about the increased risk of ulcers and a slow uptake if meds aren't properly crushed... Does anyone know more about this?

    It's been 11 months since my sleeve surgery and I've never heard of this before. I have heard of it relative to Lap Band but not the Sleeve.

    I had my surgery in September...I take my meds whole...but the vitamins upset my stomach if I don't take them with milk...

    I had read that you are not to crush the antibiotics that they prescribe... as a nurse I know that crushing an antibiotic can break up the chemical structure and the effetiveness of the antibiotic
