Glad you posted this. I’ve found I don’t handle heat as well since my surgery. I tailgated before a concert last month (in a shadeless parking lot), and everyone was worried about me because I was obviously overheated. I thought I was drinking enough water, but apparently not.

I take Paxil for anxiety/depression. Before I started it, I didn’t want to leave my house. It’s helped me so much, but it’s also got the highest incidence of weight gain of the antidepressants.. I tried Celexa. It it didn’t do anything for me.

When I started on an anti-anxiety/antidepressant several years ago, it caused my appetite to go WAY up. Same as you, eating or thinking about eating nonstop. I tried to go on another med, but nothing else worked, so I’m stuck with the same old one. I had the LapBand and lost weight with it,but I was still always hungry. Then the band stopped working, so I had it removed and in June had the sleeve done. My biggest fear is that my appetite will come back full force. The first few weeks were great. I had no appetite. But lately I’ve started to feel hunger again. Luckily eating very little satisfies me. I hope it stays the same. If it doesn’t, I will seriously consider discontinuing my meds. There will have to be another option for me,and I will never let myself get to my top weight again. As for you, I wish I could say something that would help. Sounds like maybe your sleeve is stretched? Maybe you should try resetting...you know, do liquids for a week to detox from the carbs and bad stuff. Also, I firmly believe that people like you and I have to stick up for ourselves and not let pharmaceuticals ruin our lives even while they’re helping us at the same time. There are too many options out there between different drugs and psychological therapies. Why don’t you see what alternatives are out there for you?
