Reply to "time-release medications"

Echo the responses above. I've always been told that time released medications are not a good choice for people who have had a colectomy, as the medication may pass through your system before it can be fully absorbed.  So while it's true you will get some of the medication, you invariably risk not getting the full therapeutic dosage. Not all doctors seem to be aware of this either, or else they prescribe these medications so frequently to their patients, they overlook it for patients who have had a colectomy. So it's important to always ask for non-time released versions, or alternative medications if necessary.
