After a recent visit to my PCP to ask for a diet aide / drug, he prescribed me Wellbutrin. He said even if I were to get WLS that the Wellbutrin would help in pre-approval and pre-op phase. Just curious if this is normal? The pre-op diet seems pretty strict so why would I need to add a drug?!?! Maybe he is hoping that I will be happy with the results of the drug and forget about the surgery?!?! (BTW I wasn't depressed... just not happy with my weight - does that equal depression??) Hmmm.

Wow that is really eye opening. Do you know what dose he put you on? I thought my Dr told me 100mg per day but the script says 2 pills per day and they are 100mg pills. I noticed a strong sense of nausea last night when my hubby was cooking. The smell of the food was litterally making me ill.
