While I've never had weight loss surgery, I have had three surgeries of the duodenal bulb to remove carcinoid cancer. So, I also wonder about the absorption of all types of meds. Should this be a consideration when dosages are prescribed?

Teresa, it is always best to work directly with your medical providers regarding these concerns as individuals absorption may differ. But despite changes to the stomach and intestine, many medications are absorbed normally in people who have had gastric bypass surgery, including most pain medications as stated to the answer of the other question so the dosages may not need to be different
