I'm a newbie and haven't had surgery and just started my classes I'm trying to figure out why my doctor prescribed me Wellbutrin and when I asked it wasn't clear ... I don't smoke and I don't struggle with depression so in curious if any vets out there went through this too ?

I take it for depression so I wouldn't know any other reason.

Well I was also prescribed Wellbutrin. It was for depression but apparently it helps with weight loss too. I stopped taking it after 1 month as I constantly had headaches as a side effect

It helps you lose weight and can also help with compulsive behaviors

It can help with weight loss... Maybe that is it. Personally I wouldn't accept the Rx unless the doctor told me why they were prescribing it.

I have taken it for a couple of years for my focus issues...i really like it but it never really helped me with weight loss. Good luck on your journey!!

He mentioned it was going to aid in weight loss cause you're supposed to loose 10% whoever I'm also very confused because anybody else I talk to says they have never been prescribed that to help aid with their weight loss in the beginning stages

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
