I am 57, female and was diagnosed bipolar over 10 years ago. Two of the three meds I am on can (and have) lead to weight gain. I would love to lose between 40 and 50 lbs. I eat very little but I also exercise never. I have had a couple of very difficult years, with my teenaged daughter dropping out of high school and showing signs of anxiety disorder. I am here today to make some new friends as I feel overwhelmed and isolated.

Was wondering if anyone had heard about the no surgery mini gastric bypass, that involves taking a supplement daily? It sounds scary but I was considering doing it.

Welcome Pumbaa! I'm new here myself but already have found this forum to be a great help. I haven't heard of the no surgery supplement but maybe you can find it in the search engine at the top. Again welcome
