Hi all, it's been forever since I have been to this page! But, I had my band in 2004, replaced due to slip in 2006, lost 90 lbs, gained 70 back from Lexipro. I revised to a RNY in 3/2009 lost 150 lbs and have kept every pound off since. Well, I had to gain 15 lbs because I was too thin, go figure! Howerver, with that said, it is still a tool. We MUST learn to use the tool, change our lifestyle of eating choices, etc. It's about moderation and work no matter what surgery you have.
Oh wow. I am over sixty and didn't have a weight problem till I took Lexapro. It got worse and worse because it made me hungry. I ballooned up to around 260#. I had the sleeve performed last Sept. I am still taking the Lexapro.......I suffer from a panic disorder. I have lost over 70#. My question to you is, are you still taking Lexapro? Are you on a different medication? I don't want the weight loss to stop and am concerned.

Ppl will always questioned things they don't understand. As an adult you owe no one an explanation as to what you are doing and why.. Do what's best for you my love?
Hello Sonya,
I am so glad to see this post from you. I too am in the same situation. I have gained approximately 40 pounds in the same amount of time and I am also having challenges. At first I was embarrassed but I realized that it has been a long journey and I am happy that I am trying to catch myself before I get back to my initial weight.
What is very interesting is your followup response to eating late at night and insomnia. Same here, and I KNOW that is where a lot of my problems are coming from. To top it off, I had an emergency full hysterectomy and trying to balance hormones and keep my weight down has been a huge issue.
I am going to look into the bariatric shakes that you are referencing.
Thanks
Clarissa
Im so happy to hear you had such a great experience. I never realized the scope of medical travel until now. As time goes by you will learn your new stomach and have great success doing so.
Hello Ms. Reid. I myself is getting the sleeve too, although I have not been scheduled yet. So since we are both new to it can I please piggy back for ino. My name is Kisha. I'm two clearances out but I feel myself getting nervous from time to time because I do not know what to expect.
Hello! Did your surgeon or nutritionist provide any list/guidance? The plans for after surgery differ so greatly. I don't want to lead you astray if you aren't cleared for the same things I was. Definitely talk with the surgeon to get a list of items you will need.
