 not sure if this is even the right place to post since I havent had surgery yet,,but maybe some of you have had this problem and would understand..

Lately I dont want to go antwhere,do anything.I dont even know if its weight related.I think part of it is that I have a hard time walking distances.

.I was supposed to go a wedding today and I just couldnt go.I cant even explain.I was filled with such dread.Now I feel terrible because I didnt even call my friend,I figured I would call her tomorrow and explain..

I dont even know if im explaining myself but if anyone has ever felt like this,help

It sounds like depression.  Do you have a doctor that you can go to about this?  If you don't have a psychiatrist then maybe your GP.  Sometimes a good antidepressant is needed.  I wish you the best.

Having been in therapy for a long time, and on antidepressants for a while, I must recommend both.  At least see a therapit and start working on learning some coping skills, because you will be making some lifestyle changes with your surgery, and therapy can help you work through your feelings and behaviors now and beyond your surgery.  Then, ask thetherapist for a psychiatric referral for an evaluation for medication.  You may need some meds to help you at this time.  Some people have a chemical imbalance which causes the depression, or what have you.  Others just hit a rough patch and need something to help them through that period.  I recommend getting meds, if you go that route, from a psychiatrist rather than family doc. 

In the meantime, post as much as you need to here.  That is what we ae here for.

Hugs,
Trish
