New Here and Debating the Lap Band - Bipolar
laurajean1 replied to miviem's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
hi mellisa,i too have bipolar disorder and gained 100lbs from the seroquel that i take.eventually i had stopped all the pigging out at nite,thats when i decided to get the lap band.most pshycs wont ok the band if your bipolar.i just happened to go to another doc and did not mention the bipolar and got okd.the choice is yours but i would wait untill your hunger leveled out before making a final decision -
