I have surgery on the 6th and am very excited. I am on an antidepressant along with abilify, and pain meds for my back. After losing weight will these still be needed do you think? What meds or problems did u have preop that you no longer have?

acid reflex

blood pressure meds

cholesterol meds

back pain.. all gone

I still take my antidepressants I was told that this journey is hard and not a good time to come off them. Good luck, you can do it.

I never took meds before, but most of the people have been either able to stop completely or ween them down considerable.

I really could use an anti depressant... and that's no joke. The emotional roller coaster you go on is so up and down. i'm going thru a bit od depression right now. Especially after my husband said i'm starting to look like a bag of bones.... insert knife.

I went off diebeties, high blood pressure and high cholesteral meds. I was so excited! I too am on psychiatric meds. They haven't changed. However, if you start excersising your body chemistry will change and maybe your meds will need to be adjusted. Just a thought. Keep checking in with you doctor's for sure.
