Hi Linda. My name is Cindy. I live just out of Orangeburg on 301. I had Bypass done a year ago on March 22. I understand, I think we all get that way sometimes, depressed I mean. But it will get better. I would love to hear from you. Here is my email address. I never get on the site anymore. Thats why I did not see you. A friend sent your post to me. My email is [email protected] . Take care, hope to here from you. Cindy

Hi Linda, Riverside alsodid my RNY in 06 ,I had somethings that wereself inflicted ( deyhdration being one) anyway, 2 weeks outI was doing great , then the trouble started ,again,self induced,I got in such a wreck that I would even cry at anything or nothing at all !! My Dr hooked me up with lexapro, 2 days later I could laff again !! Please dont be depressed when it is so much help out there !

Hey Linda, My name is Fab & I live in West Columbia.  My RNY is scheduled for May 27th, I'm amonth behind you & I think Dr. Givens is supposed to assist Dr. Strickland  in my surgery.   I'd love to hear about your personal surgery experience &  recovery.   I am  excited &  nervous at the same time.  I have been doing a lot of research the past 2 months & depression seems to be quite common post-op, but from what I can tell,  It seems to pass rather quickly!   Just message me from my  profile & we can compare notes.  Hope you feel better soon 

Hi Fab so sorry I was not able to contact you prior to your surgery, I am not on line as much.  I wouldlove to speak with you to share my experience that I had when I first came home, now I know if you feel a lil depress as everyone has told me it is normal, I can now testif it is true it is normal and it has fade away from me. I have an appointment my 2nd appointment next week. My phone number is (803) 531-4724 do not hesitate to call me. Talk to you soon, and congrats
