Adderall + Xanax post op?

[lmdx0sleeved 14]

Will I be able to take my prescribed meds with vsg? I'm nervous because my adderall doesn't make me hungry, in combination with VSG I'm wondering how that works? Anyone have any advice on this subject?

I am actually on both Adderall and Xanex. From the over a dozen meds I was on, those are now the only two I am on post op besides my Vitamin and Coumadin. If you are having the sleeve I see no reason why you would not be able to. I know with the bypass they are a little bit more picky with time release meds. I am three and a half months post op and I am still able to take these meds. Hope this helped :-)

My Dr. had me restart my psych meds once I was released from the hospital. I didn't take any of my meds while I was there which was for two nights since the hospital was quite a ways from home. He took me off of all meds except those that were psych. I had to crush them so time release was no longer an option. Some I was able to get compounded (made into liquid) but that was worse than crushing. You can ask if they have a liquid form some meds do. I had no problem with the Xanax but others caused me to get sick. Our body changes with the surgery. What we tolerate and even how things taste. What we once liked we may not stand post op.. Just work closely with your drs. Good luck with your surgery.. I am glad that I had mine wouldn't turn back for anything.

Thanks so much!!! Is it harder for you to force down food being on adderall and having a smaller stomach? This is mostly what I'm concerned about.. :/

I don't really think it has to do with the meds at all. It seems with the surgery the surgery and I have done all the work. Your stomach is so small afterwards I don't really feel like the meds effects it. I am three and a half months out and down over 90 pounds :-) It was well worth it.
