Pain Med Help For Gastric Bypass Patients (Top voted first)
UpdatedIs there a Dr in the Boston Area? Part of my problem is 2004 I had Gastric Bypass so my absorption rate is off. I only get half of the meds into my system. Lidocaine patch is useless!
I need a REAL LEGIT DR not some pill mill. Please any help is appreciated!
Thank You So Much!

Do you currently have a GP that could refer you somewhere?
If so, that would likely be the best way to get in to see someone and get help in your area. Due to the new regulations that were put in place as of April 1st, things have gotten really crazy on the east coast and it's very hard for most to get proper pain treatment.
As to a medication that may help and not be impeded by your bypass surgery, there is a patch that uses the narcotic Fentanyl, it is time released slowly over a period of 3 days, so it is much more effective than Lidocaine.
Learn more Fentanyl details here.
Thank you for the 411. I kinda figured after my last visit to the Dr. The place wasn't packed like it usually.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL PM CLINICS?
