i was sleeved 4 months ago and I've been having terrible cravings when Im on my period. I never really had a problem with it before surgery, but the last 3 months when its that time Im hormonal and constantly craving chocolate, and when Im not only period Im fine. I've talked to my surgeon who said he's never heard anyone say that and my nutrionist said its normal, but it drives me crazy constantly craving chocolate and salty chips! i try to stay away but it is near impossible :-( after no answers from my drs i decided to take it into my own hands and try an adipex.... OMG it was like my head went from constant screaming cravings to quiet!!!!!!!!!! has anyone else used adipex after surgery? and do any other ladies feel my pms misery?!?

Is it OTC? I do have cravings around TOM but about the same as before.

Pre op I would eat everything in sight around Tom and then eat normally the rest of the month - now I dont get a tom because of my birth control, but when i had one post op i wasn't hungry at all!

No its not otc I had a script filled a while ago before surgery and never finished it. Im gonna ask to get it refilled and just take it when Im on my period i think. Im hoping that as i get to my goal my body will adjust and i won't need it, as it got worse as i loss weight

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
