I just tried the two meds so far. Only on 50mg twice a day, so overall not that high of a dose. I skip meds 1 day each week as I have found that I can't easily wake up in the night when it's out of my system, so I don't take it on the days I am on call over night.
I heard somewhere before that after 3 months, one should try a different type of medication for a month so to counteract any resistance to the first medication. It's seems like most people just stay on the first medication though from what I'm seeing.

If the meds stayed in my system all day, I would not need to take it twice a day. I also can't take muscle relaxers anymore. 20 minutes and they are out of my system like I hadn't taken them. They don't even have a chance to do anything.
Have you already had surgery, or no? I'm surprised to see someone on here who has had surgery be surprised about how meds react now.

I was put on vivance twice a day. Would love one more short acting dose of Ritalin so I could stay awake on the bus on the way home. I'm pretty much tired all the time. Won't be going back til March to reeval meds.

I use opurity calcium citrate chewables. Only side effect is if I don't eat something after, my mouth tastes like a penny.

Am trying to figure out ADHD meds after the surgery. Has anyone attempted the Extended release options, or just accepted that it won't work after VSG? I've not had a good experience so far with Ritalin. Once it kicks in, I feel normal for about four hours then I crash and it feels like my symptoms are magnified. I take my second dose two hours later and feel normal for four hours then crash. Then my partner has to practically kick me out of bed in the AM. My doc wanted to put me in the patch, but I react badly to adhesive. Oi!
I have found things that say XR are OK for the sleeve, but not for bypass. Just wondering if anyone has tried it.

Happy 1 year Sleeviversary everyone!

Good. This makes things so much easier!

I've been taking some things at soft gels. Recently, my surgeon posted info saying people with bypass don't get anything from the use of soft gels and needed to only take vCaps or tablet forms. Has anyone heard if this is the same for sleeved patients?
I was just diagnosed with ADHD and I is recommended to take fish oil, but they are all soft gels.

Has anyone tried Cellucor C4 pre workout?

I found an awesome one from Bali. Unfortunately i bought 5 in size large, 2 in med. now the mediums are too big and they are not holding things in the way I would like. Wish I could find a small, but they are a discontinued item.

I was at Mi Doctor. He may have changed since then. I know he started the single incision surgery shortly after I had my surgery in November too. I really liked him. Very soft spoken and smiley.

Down 84lbs. But, most importantly I have had serious reduction in pain! I walked around for 3.5 hours at the zoo with the kids and it didn't hit me Til the end that I couldn't have made it 20 minutes before Without some serious pain. This is my favorite part. My main reason for surgery.

I am in University Place and having my revision May 10th. very nervous but need to do this. I was originally going to use Dr Aceves' date=' but he quoted me 11,000 as I am self-pay. I am instead using Dr Fernando Garcia after a ton of research. I think I am in good hands if alma is any sign of what to expect. She is very thorough [/quote']I had Fernando Garcia. I had a good experience overall. You will like him.

I am free Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4 and most Sundays I am available all day (except the first 2 weekends in May). I would love to meet some other local sleevers.
I am good with either option. I've only been to a restaurant once since surgery.

I do not believe everyone responds to meds the same. I know that if I take this "long acting" stimulant at 9AM, I am napping by 3:00 if I don't take a second dose. I think if I was getting anything from the second part that is supposed to break down in the intestines, I wouldn't be falling asleep on the way home from work.
I can take it twice a day an still get 8 hours of sleep. I do not feel like I am on too much stimulant in the slightest.
Also, there have been no studies on the sleeve and how it breaks medicines down. Also, some meds react differently depending in the acidity level in the stomach at the time the medication is taken. No one I talked to had info on how that would affect any ADD meds. If the pharmacists you know have this info, they should write a paper I think since all the pharmacists and physicians I've talked to are clueless about it. As it seems to have less effect if I take it with food in my stomach or on an empty one.
That being said, I can tell when it's not in my system anymore. I feel different. I have a harder time following my partners conversation and am easily distracted by noises or the TV while I am interacting with my kids.
