Hi,
This is a very common situation in people suffering from Parkinsonism and you might be correct in assuming the symptoms of talking to herself are due to the medicines.

Hi
I can understand your worry
with bypass and Parkinson's we need to see whether his brain is normal or not. So go for a MRI scan of Brain. Also, we need to see his memory and what are his thoughts, a history of how he has been since 2001. I think this would come up to diagnosis and then management of his condition.
Take care.
