Scared

[Tansmommy08 3]

I haven't been to the doctor for about a 2 months i haven't lost any weight. I was on all kinds of depression medication and stopped taking everything. I know that weight gain is a side effect of stopping medication like that, however I'm scared my doctor is going to get mad that I haven't lost any weight. I have an appointment today to get a fill, I just don't want the doctor to get at me or deny me a full... Has anyone else went through this?

Holy cow. You can't just stop taking depression medication. You can have serious problems from that. I would just talk to your doctor but don't stop taking your pills cold turkey unless under the doctors advice

I doubt he's going to be mad. Why did you stop your meds?

Don't stress. everything will be okay, just consult your Doc about the fill along with the meds. I bet both of the Doctors will be able to get you back going and on the right track! Best wishes to you!!!! XX

so what if the dr is mad....what matters is your health. the dr operated on you and so you should NEVER be afraid to see them (gain weight or no loss what so ever).....never stop meds either unless dr advises....also, to gain weight, you must eat more cals then you burn off.....are you tracking your calories (or eating just your allotment)? that maybe also another reason you are not losing either alone or along with the meds.....but def refer to your dr. you are worth more than anything.....make the call

Most docs and most all bariatric surgeons understand the ups and downs of weight loss. If they don't get it by now, they should find a different profession. If your doc has any compassion or an interest in his patients well-being, he/she will understand your issues and encourage you to get back on the bandwagon.

There have been several accounts of some A-hole doctors who think that scolding their patients motivates them. Stupid docs. But, they're in a small minority so go in and expect to be hugged and encouraged!
