I took Depakote before my surgery after about two months I told my doctor I love what it does for my mood but Im afraid Im going to eat my own arm. It helped me but I was hungary 24/7 very, very hungary. He switched me to Lamactil and the cravings stopped and it worked almost as well as Depakote for the depression. Good luck.

Have you had a thyroid panel done? Many people can develop hypothyroid after WLS.

Try it first. If you don't like the side effects you can always ask your doctor to switch you to something else. And I'm sure you will notice any increased appetite after a few weeks of taking the drug.
