Also, Crestor (a statin) is likely not needed if diet and weight are good now and you aren’t in danger of high cholesterol. Ondansetron doesn’t seem needed, either. Tramadol is for a lot of pain.

Amiodarone might be optional if you get enough potassium in food, now.

I would ask your doctor about changing up your prescriptions. There is no reason to take serious medicines if they are not needed

Good job on the serious weight loss!!

I was in York Hospital (23 days) and PSU-Hershey Medical Center (18 days) in 2017, for severe/chronic/acute Pancreatitis, and lost the weight; haven’t gained it back. I’m up to 170 now, and feel great, except for the Sciatica, for the past 2yrs pain.

They had me on Atorvastatin 80mg (!) for over a year after getting out of all the 15 hospital stays, but the hip/leg pain was so bad, I quit it, and was put on the Rosuvastatin 10mg. I can tolerate that.
