Talk to your surgeon as soon as you can about your meds and your concern over the risks of not taking them. I would also ask your pharmacist if there are any options you could explore on how to take this medication when you are newly post op and cannot take it in the whole pill/capsule form that you have now. This stuff is so serious, and must be addressed as such.

Yikes. I went 2 days without my cymbalta post op and I was a crying-depressed MESS! As soon as I got home I took it and was back to "me" the next day. Dr said to open capsule and use daily. Just wish they would have given it to me in the hospital too.

Just remember its the meds making you wacky, not you! Cymbalta works great when you take it, but OMG dont go off it cold turkey!

My Therapist spoke with my Surgeon last night that stated since i'm on Zoloft and Certraline that there could be possible bleeding during the surgery (which I'm assuming if I started to loose alot of blood they would replace) so of course no i'm worried...both the surgeon and my dr are not concerned but had to mention it because there is a chance. The surgeon said he's done the procedure on plenty of patients on anti-depression and anxiety meds. But i'm scared enough about this as it is and now this...Jus wondering if anyone was told the same thing from their surgeon?

I'm on 150 mgs of Sertraline as well (generic of Zoloft) & was told to take the pills (50 mgs each) about 30 minutes apart the day after surgery. I had no bleeding issues during or after the surgery.

I am also on Zoloft and about 3 weeks pre-op...my surgeon looked over my med list and said the only thing I needed to stop taking before surgery was my daily low-dose of aspirin...I haven't asked yet about post-op meds, but he recommends no NSAIDs ever after surgery...I have been on Zoloft for quite some time now and can't imagine just stopping taking this especially during such a stressful time in life as having surgery

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
