  1. I take currently 10 psych meds 4 during the day and about 8 at night some are repeats ok the only thing you have to worry about are things like extended release meds which if you work with your psych doc you can get switched to rapid release or a different med all together also enteric coated pills at first do not absorb as well so switch to something different then you can switch back several medications are in the same class and are just as effective because they have the same action mechanism in your brain for example if you take geodon you can switch to Latuda it is also a safer med should you get pregnant soon after surgery if you take lamotragine which is the generic for I think lamictal you can switch to trileptal things like klonipin have under the tongue doses for more effectiveness also seraquel can and should be swapped for trazadone the reason being seraquel has the latent weight gain possible night time eating and a chance to cause insulin resistance. If you need a sleeping agent try belsomra it works in a different area of the brain and you don’t sleep walk for migraines impulsive behavior and mood stabilizer topirimate or topamax is great it also helps with weight loss hope this helps btw my mil is a shrink so if you need advice pm me
  2. I have never accepted the answer well your Heavy that’s your problem nope not a single time I will fire a doctor and find a different one because of how the American medical system is set up we are essentially buying a product their care if the product is insufficient than we’ll move on I do not have time for doctors that have been practicing medicine less than google has been around telling me how my fucking body works okay nope
  3. Ok so this is kind of an older thread but my hubby wants a less permanent option for wls and this seems perfect for him we would be going thru Hopkins did your insurance approve the procedure and which one also is it only one Dr that does the procedure and which one would you recommend. Sorry I'm all so new to this for him specifically I'm going thru gbmc to get bypass but I just want the best care possible for my hubby Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app
