I am on an antidepressant that if I miss one dose, I get really really sick.

so, how does the sleeve affect meds? do you absorb them more quickly/slower? anyone have any advice on this thanks?

i had to cut/crush my meds the first few weeks. i could take them whole after that.

If it's the only one you take, cutting it might be okay (check with your doc to make sure it's okay to do this with this med and for how long).

Absorption of medications varies with each bariatric procedure. Those patients who have opted for the sleeve or gastric band are usually able to still absorb medications as they did prior to weight loss surgery as the small intestine remains unaltered. Those patients who have undergone the Roux-En-Y gastric bypass, distal bypass, or Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (commonly known as “the switch”) can have absorptive issues with many medications.
