Hi, wanted to know if anyone has fibromyalgia and WLS has helped with them with muscle and nerve pain? Is exercise difficult? Are you on any medications for fibromyalgia? Any information/input would be appreciated. I am on Lyrica and have gained 24 lbs in three months. My surgeon stated it is a problem me being on the medication after surgery because it does cause weight gain. I have tried to go off the medication but it doesn't last one day. So, I am anticipating failure before I even begin.....

Have you been tested for SIBO?

Some studies indicates that SIBO may cause fibromyalgia... Google that...

Thank you for the reply. I had never heard of SIBO so I researched it and I don't have any of the risk factors, expect having type 2 diabetes and I don't have any of the symptoms. :)
