  1. The meds I was taking before surgery did not include any antipsychotic or mood stabilizer only gabapentin for nerve pain and anxiety (separate issue) and an antidepressant Wellbutrin. Physically the pills were hard to swallow after surgery but as far as affecting weight loss there was no affect. Six months later I have a car accident, am diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and go thru 9 months of in and out hospitals with doctors trying to put me on all these different meds I had never been on before, antipsychotics that were not even needed in the first place and were causing really bad side affects. I’m not sure if the side affects were so bad becuz my stomach was cut down 80% or what or if becuz they switched to a new med so quickly every couple weeks or month either way bad experience. It also caused in the end within 2 months a 25lb weight gain which then started me picking up old eating habits and gaining another 8 lbs. now I feel stuck. Not sure if that helps or not. I’m against antipsychotics or mood stabilizers after surgery!
  2. I need advice on what sleeve reset to do. I am a year and three months out. HW 330lbs SW 289 CW 234 GW 150 5’9 I lost 130 lbs very quickly and maintained that the last six months but did not lose any more. I was hospitalized with traumatic brain injury and within two months due to some med changes, gained 25lbs now plus 8 more. Is it possible to stretch out your sleeve that quickly? I went back to being hungry all the time and craving carbs and sweets and then fell back into eating them. Im trying to figure out what the best sleeve reset would be for me? Anyone with experience with this care to share?

  4. I had great weight loss and lost 100lbs got under 200 very quickly and then was put back on my Abilify and it was like the weight loss just suddenly stopped now I’ve put back on 20 lbs and they have switched around meds. Not at all happy about it.
