For OH community members celebrating the July 4th Independence Day...We hope you have a happy and safe holiday.
ObesityHelp had the opportunity for an exclusive interview with MasterChef Judge, Graham Elliot. This month marks his one year VSG surgery anniversary, and he's lost 150 pounds.
Graham is the Keynote Speaker at the OH Conference 2014. At the Conference, you'll hear his story and have an opportunity to talk with him in the question/answer part of his presentation.

1. Look at the dates on the list of topics for the OT forum. That should give you an idea of how often people visit.
2. Questions about whether or not it's OK to take particular medications are generally best left to doctors or pharmacists, not random strangers on the Internet. :)

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well.
My question is about sustained release medications, is it okay to take them?
I know we shouldn`t take extended release, I have been on immediate release Wellbutrin 3 times a day,
My Dr. asked if I would like to go to 2 times a day with the sustained release. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. I just found the Off Topic Forum, How is it working out? I know the other forums did have alot of Off Topic questions, I was guilty of that quite often .....Do you find that others are visiitng this forum often?
Thanks in Advance.
