Wumbo got a reaction from StephersSweet in Am I the only one who gets annoyed by the question Why?
HOOOLEE crap! You need to contact your HR department immediately. Seriously. Major FMLA and ADA violations. You may even want to consider talking to an attorney or the EEoC. Or both.

Wumbo got a reaction from celticNgel in online psych evaluations
1) You shouldn't change your answers to a psychiatric evaluation. Most decent professionals / questionnaires will test for patient understanding / intent / honesty / malingering.
2) That said, here is an excellent article discussing the specific psychological contraindications for bariatric surgery. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3096263/

Wumbo got a reaction from FluffyChix in Going off psych meds after surgery
@monalyssa33 Why do you want to stop taking medication? I can understand the emotional reasons but what are your intellectual reasons? Are they causing you unacceptable side effects?
@DrGee There are 3 versions of Wellbutrin (Bupropion).
Extended release (XL): Not crushable. Sustained release (SR): Not crushable. Immediate release (IR): Crushable. You would be amazed at the number of professionals that do not know Bupropion IR exists / still exists. Gently remind your Dr about it. Because Immediate Release is immediate your dosing will change. 75mg-150mg 2 or 3 times a day are the likely doses your Dr will try you on once your switch.

Wumbo got a reaction from AK82 in DS and Absorbing Zoloft
Lol. Citation please.
I would guess that SSRIs are probably some of the best suited medications to malabsorptive surgery. SSRIs are safe and easy to titrate. Have very long a half life. Are primarily indicated for nonlife-threatening conditions. Have very low toxicity.
