Hey all,

I was just wondering if any of us lap banders on medication literally lose less weight because we take psychiatric medication.

Anyone have any input? I'd love to hear it! Thanks!

I know I'm currently on Wellbutrin and it has caused me to lose weight. I will be going off of it soon though so that will be interesting. I'm also on Prozac and have been for 2 years now. I haven't noticed a gain or loss with it either way.

If my GP is correct about my diagnosis I will be going on bipolar meds soon. I hope they help me and don't cause weight issues for me.

Different med's have have different effects on weight loss or weight gain. And they also effect every one differently too. Just talk with your doctor about your concerns about gaining weight from the change in meds. be sure to weight yourself when you start taking the new drug so you will have a true idea if you have gained anything. Just don't worry if your weight gains by a pound or two.
