Our digestive track is different and so is the acid in our pouch. Which could make the pills dissolve or go through your track faster because of the way the RNY is made.

So, did you have your surgery?

See, that is what I have been thinking. I have had a terrible time over the years after surgeries getting the pain controlled. I do see one who I get injections in my neck and back for. Hmm, I haven't asked this question. The Pain Doctor doesn't prescribe Tramadol (they won't prescribe any) any my PCP prescribes it. I will be making some calls tomorrow. My Gastric Doc is in another state, in fact in a different practice that I had my surgery in. I don't have a new Gastric Doctor where I live.

Does anyone have issues with pain medication not lasting as long as it is supposed to? I take Tramadol for pain in my hips, hands, back and neck. This is a question I have not been able to find an answer to. The PCP acts like it should be enough. Yes, it does take my pain away, but not the full 6 hours. Anyone else in this boat?
