Weight gain because of prednisone and/or other lupus meds. If you’ve had a bariatric procedure or surgery, please describe your experience.

Hi, I had the gastric bypass RNY. If I remember correctly
When you had the gastric bypass you absorb 20% less
Of vitamins, some medications. You can google it to find out more information
Try googling gastric bypass medication absorption or something like that.
