Has anyone else experienced anxiety/depression post op? I'm nine months out.

Lately, I have been having terrible emotional swings. I go from feeling normal to depressed/anxious for no reason. I have already made an appointment with my doctor, but I was wondering if anyone else went through this and what was the end result.

I did. At about 6 months out the anxiety started to hit me. I had always used food as a "crutch" and had used my weight as a way to protect myself. I no longer had the option to use food to help me deal with things and my protection (extra weight) was no longer there. It was scary as Hell. Its a good choice to make a appointment with your doctor. Prayers for you

^^^^this. I too had issues when I took away the primary coping mechanism used to comfort and soothe myself. I think I had this around month 4-6. The article posted earlier this week mentions how being overweight is a symptom of a larger problem. I find that to be true for myself and until you address the roots you might find yourself at goal and still unhappy. I hope you can find someone to help you sort through these issues. 

I had depression/anxiety issues prior to surgery and I continue to work through them afterward. I have experienced mood swings and I know others who have as well. For me, having surgery was a huge shift in my life in so man ways that sometimes it just feels overwhelming and I break down a little bit and then pick myself back up. It is good to meet with your doctor. I am on medication for my depression and also working through behavioral stuff (meds are not for everyone). I have found it to be extremely helpful with balancing me out.

The first few months are called the honeymoon period while the weight is coming off.  It can be a tough time for those that used eating for emotional security and excess weight as protection.  I was someone who used food to stuff my feelings so I considered the first post-op year better named "adjustment period" more so than "honeymoon period."  It's been almost three years, my new lifestyle is preferred not forced, and I count on my end result being able to die at peace.
