I take Abilify and am being sleeved at the end of the month. My metabolism has virtually shut down with this medication. Does anyone out there take Abilify? How has your weight loss been?

I take Abilify, too. I am preop, but have managed to lose 19 pounds with a strict diet and exercise program. Weight loss is very hard on this medication, but possible. Wishing you all the best!

Wow I sure didn't know Abilify will do that to you. I take it twice a day, have only been able to lose 9 pounds in 6 months.

Wow! Who was your surgeon? Did he warn you about this?

I've not talked with the surgeon yet about my medications. I'm on theophylline time release for my lungs and I know that is a metabolism downer. Found that out when I had my stress test, but they did get my heart rate up for 6 min and then said it was enough.
