Will Vyvanse Affect Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
I am having the gastric sleeve surgery tomorrow around 10:30 am. I had a lot to get done before prepping for surgery and my friend gave me a vyvanse which I took yesterday at about 8am not even thinking it could affect my surgery. will it? and if so how can I tell the anesthesiologist without drawing attention and everyone knowing especially my insurance company?

Hi! Vyvanase may have a drug interaction with some anesthetic agents. One way or the other you will simply HAVE to inform your anesthesiologist in detail about the drug (the exact dose and the exact time you took it) for him to figure out whether enough time has elapsed for the last taken dose to have washed out of your system or to decide which anesthetic agent to use (or avoid). Of course it is in your own best interest to do so. All the best!
