Anyone start Lyrica after bypass?

Was wondering if anyone's started taking Lyrica after bypass? Did you have a problem with weight gain? I'm looking forward to the relief of pain but not looking forward to weight gain.

I have been taking Lyrica for many years. During that time I have lost weight and regained it just like all yo yo dieters do. When I first started taking it, I don't think I had any gain or change in appetite. Just my personal experience.

And it really really helps pain relief.

@starrspunn I've been on Lyrica for almost 2 years. Started out 75mg 2x per day but now 200mg 3x per day (max dose). Sleepiness was my #1 issue. Every time they upped my dose it would literally put me out for the day. By day 2, I'd be better. Never affected appetite or weight gain.

So great to hear. I've been worried about weight gain. My doctor just started me on Lyrica and I went home and started reading reviews.Lots of people complaining about weight gain kinda off putting. Helps ease me a little hearing real people not gaining
