  1. I had a RNY gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago. It took me 6 months before I reached my happy state when all the problems seemed to melt away. This article may be of help to you. It describes my experience with weight loss surgery. It can be quite overwhelming during the beginning. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

    Thank you so much for sharing your story! It was wonderful to read!!


  2. I was on Wellbutrin before DS. They switched me from XL to SR because of the malabsorption.

    However, a little over three months out, I am off it entirely. Not suggesting that should happen for everyone, but letting you know it CAN happen.

    Still adapting, still working the plan, but DS has changed more than my weight.

    Would you say that it changed for the better??


  3. Hi everyone! I am in the process of having DS surgery. I still have a few months to go before the big day but I have some major concerns about my medication. I take Paxil and I have been taking it for years. I had agoraphobia really bad for like 10 years. I saw a new doctor and he raised my Paxil and since then I have been 100 times better. Now I heard that having DS or the gastric bypass can effect your medications because of how your body absorbs it.Have any of you had a problem with you meds??? Thanks!
