Suicide/Depression

I am sorry to hear of your friends passing. I was required to have pre-op therapy. Psychological tests and therapy sessions are necessary to ensure the ability to handle the new lifestyle change. There is also the possibility of transferring addictions. 

I am 3 weeks post-op & am thankful for my support team.l

Thanks everyone for all your responses and kind words.  To those that have had experiences with this also I am so very sorry.  It is such a tragedy.  Thanks again everyone.
