Diet pills after Vsg surgery !



Recommended Posts

Curious to know if only one has used diet pills after VSG surgery to lose that last 15 to 20 lbs that seems to want to hang on ? After trying everything I can think of to lose the last 15 lbs all attempts have failed and the scales have not moved in 3 months other than gaining and losing the same 1 pound. Has anyone else done this ? If so what was your outcome?

I have not used them but I am interested If anyone has. I am thinking it probably isn't a good idea. Most are filled with caffeine, way more than we are supposed to have, also most OTC diet pills aren't FDA regulated and you really have to do research to make sure you know exactly want you are taking.

I work for my PCP. I mentioned I had been hungry a lot last weekend. I wanted to know if I could up my Nexium. She didn't understand the acid mimicking hunger until I explained it to her. She was offering to prescribe Qysimia. Instead, I bumped my Nexium to twice a day dosing. Worked very well.

That is interesting !!!! I was unaware of acid mimicking hunger aswell. I still have awful acid reflux maybe I will try that and see if it helps. : )

      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?
