Im 4 weeks post op and my thoughts are all over the place? I dont know why im having these thoughts when before everything before the surgery was so clear.  Has anyone else ever had this problem?  Let me back up a bit.....Im 24, engaged and before the surgery i was so sure about my fiance, well now im starting to doubt things and can think straight i dont know if it is hormonal but i think i need to talk to someone.  I am still very much in love with him but now i dont know if i should be marrying him now?

Hey, Cambria!  I was very moody post-op.  I'd recommend you don't make any big decisions for a few weeks - and talk to someone (Check your insurance plan.) if you need to! Hang in there...you'll know if it's right :) Jessica

Cambria: Congratulations, the early months post op can be so difficult regarding emotional issues.  Dr McKinlay was my surgeon and I just met Dr Smith at the October Support Group at St Marks (he assisted in my surgery 2 years ago.) Any way one thing that happened to me, I think.... was because of all the anesthesia.  For me I remember my brain and my communications didn't seem to be coordinated.  I decided to have a massage hoping it would make a difference and it did.  There are some therapist that might be helpful.  I've never gone to one of them but I have found it helpful to attend support group each month and I always get something ouf of each meeting I attended. I noticed 2 weeks ago when I had an appointment with McKinlay he had some flyers regarding a lady therapist who had spoken a few month'.  I don't remember her name but she was also very informative and had also had the RNY surgery a few years ago. I do wish you well on your journey.   Marva

Cambria: I'm willing to offer a listening ear if you would find that helpful.  I actually live in West Jordan... not to far from South Jordan.  You can email me or I'm even willing to arrange time to get together.!! never done that other than a few hospital visits.  I am much older than you (I think).  Don't know if that matters though. We each have our own stories but what we do share is the hope that having this surgery will permanantly change our lives by improving our health.   Support group at St Marks is coming up next Wednesday Nov 14 @ 6 pm.  I't would be great to meet you if you can make it. Best wishes, Marva
