I've heard some bad things about bypass surgery, Jay. Not with everyone, but with enough people to make me skittish. Side effects that may be harder on your social life than extra weight. Unless you have are morbidly obese, I think I'd do what I could to avoid surgery.
And I *do* understand. I gained about 50 to 55 pounds on Luvox, and have only lost ten despite the fact that I'm on minimal meds. And I don't eat a huge amount, tho I'll admit to binge eating for mood regulation. I've even switched to diet coke. And I *am* diabetic, and my health would be vastly improved if I lost another 25 pounds at least, 40 to 50 would be better.
Can you do some research into side effects?
