hi melissa,i have bipolar disorder as well,i also gained 100lbs as a result of my meds,but i got to a point where i forced myself not to pig out at nite.with a little will power you can say no more.i am only 3 weeks out and am doing fine.good luck to you

hi mellisa,i too have bipolar disorder and gained 100lbs from the seroquel that i take.eventually i had stopped all the pigging out at nite,thats when i decided to get the lap band.most pshycs wont ok the band if your bipolar.i just happened to go to another doc and did not mention the bipolar and got okd.the choice is yours but i would wait untill your hunger leveled out before making a final decision

wow girl,your really pushing it,first of all no solid food the first week,espesially corn,Pasta is a big no no no matter how small the pasta is,no offense but i think you nedd to rethink your diet,talk to your nut
