Thank you for that information. I'm having nonstop stomach discomfort. Gastroenterologist prescribed me dicyclomine for stomach pain it helps a bit, not a lot. My last endoscopy he did he was confused to as why everything inside of me wasn't were it was supposed to be. My stomach has moved to the other side. I was very confused by this. I'm pretty sure that's because of the gastric bypass right?? I just don't know anymore but I can't handle these post complications with this surgery at all. It's running my life

I am so sorry you're going through this as well. I'm just giving up. No one will listen. My med provider just keeps saying she doesn't know what to do. Specially any meds that can raise my blood pressure. To keep hearing that, it makes me worse. My anxiety is stronger then it's ever been. I hope we can get through this and someone wakes up and understands this. ❤️

Hi Yes, I have tried many different meds. Right now my med provider tells me she doesn't know what to do because some meds we've tried raise my BP. I currently take busbar as well with 2 other psych meds. One being a sedative. My anxiety and panic seen to be non stop. I also see a therapist and he's does the EMDR and also teaching me about what you're be taught. It's not working. My brain is fighting against me and winning. I really hope everything works out for you. Everyone is different so I wish you much success on your surgery. Be sure to take your vitamins and protein ❤️☺️

I just had blood work and everything looked good. Iron was good. I also forgot to mention the non stop stomach pain. Gastroenterologist was confused as to why everything in my inside stomach area were in different spots??? I'm like...say what now? They now think I have a hiatal hernia. Fun times

Hi...I take Vitamin D, calcium, B12, multivitamin and iron. I did have an iron deficiency but had an infusion. Iron upsets my stomach but I'm back on it again. I've been taking all these since surgery. My panic attacks and anxiety wasn't this bad before surgery. I was managing them really well before. Now they don't stop and depression is everyday. Having to take liquid antidepressants to absorb. I'm giving up

Some people have success with it. Just make sure you asked them about your current meds and if they get absorbed. I wasn't told that and they denied it when I asked them. Most med docs know this happens

Thank you fir your kind words and concern. It's been really frustrating. I almost wish I could have all my meds liquid. Yes, heart disease runs deeply in the family but I think it's weird that my primary told me to get it since I had a heart attack. Then I have a serious heart attack after the surgery. I would not have had it if I knew about my psych meds not working. The anxiety caused my 2nd attack. I've had 2 more since then. So 4 total. I want my stomach back : (

Thank you 😊

Hello...I had gastric bypass surgery in October of 2012. Biggest mistake of my life. I got to my goal weight in 2014. I felt pretty good. All of a sudden I started waking up several times a night with severe panic attacks (I had been suffering from this prior to surgery). I was on the right meds for this and they were manageable. All of a sudden they came back with vengeance. I asked my med doc what was happening and she said she didn't know how to help me. Yes, a med provider said she couldn't help me and that the meds I were on were working before. So this shocked me and I was on the search for another doctor. Was having a real difficult time finding someone to help me. I finally found one and what a strange person he was. He was arguing with my primary doc about what meds I should be on. It went on too long. My attacks got more intense during the night. Then they began during the day. It was nonstop anxiety with depression. I joined a CBT program because I became suicidal. The psychiatrist with the program noticed right away that I had had gastric bypass. He knew immediately what was happening. My meds weren't absorbing. He put me on a liquid medication. One that made me gain weight in the first place (ugh). It took a while for the liquid med to work so I was suffering badly. It was hard handing on. CBT program was done and I had to check myself in for my depression and anxiety. They wanted to send me to the CBT program. I was like...I just finished it! Went home to suffer some more. I was losing more weight because everytime I ate, my anxiety got worse. Never will understand that and no one can explain that to me to this day. I would start shaking after I ate and anxiety is got very strong. It still happens. Months later I had a heart attack. 3 stents. I couldn't believe all this was happening. I finally found a great med provider and therapist. On a different liquid medication but my health has worsen. I have IBS so badly, lost a lot of hair. I'm taking my vitamins and protein but still losing hair. My mental state is worse then it ever was. I was handing and living with my mental health before surgery and now worse then ever. I had this surgery because I was 80 pds overweight. I had had my 1st heart attack before surgery and my primary doc said I should have the surgery. Worse decision of my life. Sorry for long story but I just want to know if anyone is having these same complications. I went back to my gastric surgeon and she said Gastric bypass doesn't affect your meds and because I had gained 8 pds back, she rudely said..."well you're absorbing something" and looked me up and down. At that point I was done with her. This has been a nightmare
