I thought nuerontin was for neuropathy?

They use it for fibro also.

Cymbalta! I love it and it really helps! I have been on it for about 2 years and it is safe with rny I'm 1 week out and I wouldn't live without it.

What mg are you on? I am on 60 but the capsules are kinda big for me. I get samples from my pcp & last time that had to give me 30s. They were much smaller & worked great. I had been taking the 60s at night so I didn't have so much pain in the am but I have now been able to split the 30s to am & pm. What a huge difference in the fibro pain!

      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.
