Here is a picture of the resulting GI anatomy after roux-en-y bariatric surgery. It is an amazingly elegant way to maximize the digestive potential of the proximal region of the small intestine. I would guess by looking at this that some extended-release preparations of various drugs would remain effective. It would depend on the delivery technology used. I am really intent on getting my friend to at least try using Wellbutrin SR instead of IR.
