I wish that 1st fill appointment would hurry up and come!!! Good luck to you, I will be watching for your posts to see how we compare during healing. -

I am looking for information from anyone taking EffexorXR 150mg capsules. Are you able to take the caps as directed or do you have to open them and take them in applesauce? If you have to open them, do they work the same? I am getting banded Oct 7th and don't know what to expect and would appreciate any feedback. My doctor said I could try them unopened but I would like to know what others have experienced. Thanks in advance, Mimi

EffexorXR 150mg

Thank you, OBTech. I take 1 of the XR 75 and 1 of the 150mg. The doc thought the 75mg was an OK size but that the 150mg would be too big. I have some concerns (besides taste) about opening the capsule, too. Mimi -

Thanks for both your feedback. I can't get the pills because they don't stock them at the VA so I will have to make up my mind to open them for a few weeks. It helps to know that as time goes by I will be able to try the capsule whole. Mimi -
SNT, I, too am on Effexor and concerned about opening it. I depend on it to work the same as always. Mimi

At a pre-op teaching class yesterday we were told that the surgeon decides smaller or larger based on height only. That may only be my group, though. Mimi

blood thinner shots?
Mimilou2004 replied to Pradice73's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc gives the heparin shot before surgery then the coumadin pills for 10-30 days post op. The goal is to prevent blood clots from forming while healing takes place and we aren't so active. Mimi -
Not just you, I have been having problems all evening. Mimi
