Has anyone taken adderall post opp? I used to take it for energy and concentration before surgery and I'm worried that it will suppress my already tiny appetite and I will never eat.

I'm on something similar and have the same concerns. I think we will have to set reminders for us to know when to eat :)

I take Vyvanse -- at least pre-surgery -- but have been too scared to resume post op. I'm not so much afraid that I will not be hungry... I'm more afraid that I will be too wired and jumpy. I'm thinking I'll try it this weekend so I don't embarass myself at work :).

This post is a little old now, so I was hoping maybe one (or all) of you ladies had some insight!! :)

I am currently taking adderall to manage my ADD and I think I would go nuts without it. It does effect my appetite now, but not so much that I have shed any of these pre-op pounds I'm carrying around! lol Why can't a medicine ever have that "weight loss" side effect on me?! lol

I too am worried about it's effects on my appetite post op. And while it doesn't make me wired at all now, did it start making any of you wired once you started losing? I didn't even think about that until I read this thread! Any info is appreciated! :)

      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?
