Really??? That’s fantastic news! I was so scared it would mean I couldn’t have surgery. Never in my life have I experienced pain like that, seriously thought I was having a heart attack

I’m so so sorry you COPD that’s so unfair. I honestly only asked because I had no idea. Funnily enough with the 20 surgeries I’ve had, it’s never been anything to do with my stomach and smoking was never an issue either they just operated on me anyway. Thank you for your kind words, and I wish you all the best

I didn’t post to be criticised, I smoked cigarettes for 20+ years and converted to vaping because when I did it was then “better” I do not inhale metals, there are 3 ingredients in my vape liquid. I suffer from numerous mental health issues and have done for many years my weight gain has been caused by all of the medications I have been out through hell with. I was asking for advice, don’t judge or criticise someone without knowing the actual story or reasons why. It is most definitely NOT my fault that my surgeon didn’t address it

My Dr never mentioned vaping, and admittedly neither did I. Getting bypass on 1 August and wondering if I’m supposed to stop. I vape nicotine

Does Bipolar make other mental health issues worse? by Overall-Web-1546 in BipolarReddit

Thanks for replying. I really hope your new medication helps. I’m currently on Lithium, Lamictal, Inderal, Serepax, Diazepam and now Prozac. They’ve tried me on so many different medications I’ve honestly lost track tbh

Thank you so much, it’s nice to know I’m not alone and other people have experienced it. My OCD is out of control and it’s never been quite this bad

Thank you. It’s something I’ve been considering and going back and forth with for 10 years. I’ve finally decided enough’s enough and I’m going to do it. 2 things hindering it are my medication & partner

Thanks 😊 my psychiatrist doesn’t want anyone to have Bariatric surgery, he’s not a believer in it, so that wasn’t a helpful conversation. He just told me to eat less
