Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hi Tina. Thank you so much for posting. I learn so much from all the members here, and I find it very comforting to know that others are familiar with what I am going through. Can I ask how much in total you've gained with the meds? I gained 30 pounds in 6 weeks. I was really depressed and devasted last week, but I've learned that I don't have much control over it right now, and my quality of life is far more important. Some things aren't worth stressing over, right? I was having stomach upset too with my meds but was told to eat a bit before and after taking them....and follow it down with lots of water. So far, so good....no more upset stomach! All the best... -- In , tjgarcia@f... wrote: > hope that your surgery goes okay.When I had to have surgery I did not have any > trouble with my Pres.because they gave me something to swallow before surgery > because I was taking the Pres.I went right back on it the very next day.I take > 7.5 mgs a day of the stuff and have been taking it for about 2 yrs.It upsets my > tummy at times and I now weigh 217 lbs.but that is the price that I must paty to > keep me pain free thru the day,GOOD LUCK,Later,Tina,Ind.
