  1. Hi all, I am new to the forum so apologies if I breach any etiquette with my post but I would appreciate y'alls help and input. I would also like to say I completely appreciate you probably aren't medically qualified, I am generally looking for peoples experiences and any solutions they had to the following problem, Essentially I had lap band (or gastric band as known in the UK) surgery around 3 weeks ago. I am also taking 6 types of medication to help with my mental health issues (bipolar, depression and anxiety disorder). Between themselves they approved me for the surgery under the proviso that I ground my medications up or break open the capsules - I was told there shouldn't be an issue by both Dr's. However my symptoms are now such that I am in a dark place, probably worse than I have been for several years. I have gotten in touch with both institutions, the Dr that performed the surgery told me this is not his domain and to contact my psychiatrist, which I did however they cannot speak to me, even over the phone, until Friday minimum. I was wondering if anyone here had similar issues and if so what was the solution. I am really worried they may have to reverse the surgery or change my medications which had previously gotten rid of pretty much all of my symptoms. I appreciate I may sound pretty ignorant but based on the advice from both Dr's I moved ahead with the surgery. I have managed to find studies that demonstrate the bio-availability of certain antidepressants can be reduced after gastic bypass / sleeve surgery but nothing relating to the band. Any help or advice greatly appreciated. Thanks, G
