Gastric Sleeve for weight gain due to meds?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm on Meds that I have to stay on, Ive been on them for 10 years but it resulted in me gaining 70 pounds in the first two years. I've tried many things but it doesn't budge.

Would gastric sleeve help me?

Thank you.

gaining 70 pounds in the first two years.

@@aron

how awful

bad enough to gain weight because you are over eating, not eating well etc

but when you are taking meds that make you gain too??

horrible - no control over meds you must take

are you still gaining weight? or was it just those couple of years at the beginning?

can your doc research your problem with that medicine/pill?

hopefully he can find something comparable

that won't have weight gain as a side effect

my 13 year old grand-son was diagnosed with ADD a couple of years ago

he ballooned up from head to toe with his weight gain

doc took him off that med - changed it to something comparable!!

new med did the trick for his ADD

weight came off gradually in a few months

(probably less then 70 lbs)

you must continue to work with the sleeve/WLS for the rest of your life

eat in moderation, lots of Water, eat slowly, plenty of Protein etc

remember, "I'm watching you" ;)

I "THINK" you should/will lose weight with the sleeve

but due to the med, will the weight stay off??

doc can advice you more than i can

(i'm not a professional med person!!)

whatever your health issue is

"maybe" it will lesson with weight loss/sleeve

tough decision surgery or not

hope to see you in sleeveland

good luck

The medical issue is major depression and anxiety. I've tried going of the meds over the past 10 years but it always ended in a mental breakdown so I'm not trying that again. Even with the meds I'm so so.. But I have a wife and 4 kids and got to keep on jugging onwards.

Yes the weight came on in the first two years and I've been steady at 270 for the post 8 years. Doctor says my blood work shows fatty liver which would be good if I were a duck :) and very high cholesterol.

I really want to do the sleeve if it will help me get on the right path but it's so expensive in the states.....

Regarding taking took the shrink about the weight gain.... My exclusive is that they just look at the DSM and quote "you shouldn't have weight gain" they are pompous.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
