I had to switch from time released Wellbutrin to 2 doses of regular welbutrin.

I think I'm different than any of you. It will be 9 years this August for me. I have horrible gas and foul smelling bathroom issues, gas pains, etc. So much so, I sometimes think that I can never be "close" to anyone ever. I need to buy stock in candle and air freshener companies, I spend so much. I've been reading all of your posts and I am going to start today going back to basics and see if it truly does make a difference, but here is the one of the reasons I think I'm different. I can't touch beans, they kill me! I would love to have some in taco salads, chili, good source of protein, but literally blow me up so bad, I'm in so much pain, I can't handle it. I don't do dairy other than my yogurt, I can't do carbs hardly at all, no white flour... I don't eat whites too much at all, I will have baked sweet potatoes every now and again. I can eat corn products better than other, so I will eat a bit of corn or corn products from time to time. I have had horrible, killer gas for 9 years! I have gained around 20 lbs from my lowest, but only about 10 from what I tend to fluctuate around, although that is making me feel pretty "fat". I have been working on getting back on track, so maybe I was meant to see these posts today. Thank you! I am going to go and stock up with the right things and give this a try, minus beans!

Hi, I am not in the U.S. I am in Canada but I just saw a surgeon about going for an RNY to DS. He told me it is a very risky procedure. They first had to reverse the RNY and then do a sleeve and then they do the DS. That is a lot of surgery. I spoke to a few people that did have it done and they had nothing but complications. example, stomach hernia, one person they had to put a hold in her esophagus because food would not go down. Another person did not lose anything. Another one has constant pain. Please be careful. It really scared me.

I know everyone is different but I looked into this and it looks too scary for me. I just wanted to share this with you.

Are there any issues (absorption) with taking normal medications after DS?
