      Antidepressants can sometimes be trial and error. In my experience any antidepressant that made me feel dizzy and sad was not what I needed. They are to make you feel better, not worse. Unfortunately, you may have to try several before you find one that works for you. Ask your doc for samples rather than buying a whole prescription.

      Talk to your doc, but personally, I learned to not put up with meds that made me feel bad. There are too many other meds available.

      Much love to you. ❤️

  2. My surgeon is Dr. Louis Balsama, my insurance Horizon NJ Health

    So my name is Loren and I am beginning my weight loss journey. On September 7th I went to a very small seminar at the surgeons office, and right after I had my first nutrition consult. I was told that I qualified and given a folder full of things that I could get started on if I wanted. September 8th I ran to get my blood work done. September 12th I went for my UG I and chest x-rays at 8:30 in the morning. Around 10:30 am the surgeons office called to go over my results. I found out I had pre diabetes, vitamin B and D deficient. The diabetes is not a problem the number was a 6.3 so it wasn't treated. The Vitamin D is being treated at 50,000 units once a week, and Vitamin B is just over the counter...no red flags. UG I and chest x-rays were perfect. September 14th  I went to my primary to get clearance and my medical history. She was more than happy to do it for me. She told me this a great life changing opportunity.  September 15th I went for my cardiac clearance ekg was fine so I was in and out in a flash. I scheduled my appointment with the surgeon and that appointment is coming up on the 28th of September. Yes, you read that correctly I've done all this running around and haven't had my first appointment with the surgeon yet. All that is left is my pulmonary visit on October 10th, the psych evaluation, a sleep study, two more nutrition visits, and pre op class. I don't know what to expect from the consult with the doctor...I wish I was able to get a date at this visit. Im really hoping for a November or December date at this point.

      Find a surgeon or weight loss clinic that has experience in walking you through the process. They should know all about insurance, and how to get it approved, etc.

  4. They warned me that I may not lose any weight immediately after surgery and they were right.  I've stayed the same to the tenth of a pound.  I've got my protein in every day, done my exercise (actually more that recommended), and got most of my daily water in.  And I've eaten only those foods dictated.  So Frustrating!.  Any suggestions on how to break this plateau?

      I don't know why there's a double post, and I don't know how to delete it. 😟

      I'm new to all of this, so I've never heard that one might not lose weight immediately. That sounds crazy!

      If you're doing everything correctly, I'm guessing it will show up on the scales eventually. You just have to hang in there.
