Now that I am not as depressed

Now that I am not as depressed as I have been for what 15 years or so , I notice I am eating less... loosing weight [ heck I may have to put some back on just to lose the 10% to qualify] I attribute less depression to zoloft, wellbutrin and a good therapist. My psych feels that my obesity is a result of depression [comfort food] fear of intimacy etc. and she is right. However I still want the surgery because I am still 100 or so overweight. She thinks I can now 'handle' the issues that caused depression etc. and then the weight will drop off. I don't know about that - but the seed is planted in my head and I can't stop thinking maybe she is right... so my question ... musings are for those who have been depressed and on meds - did that help in weight loss - to the point where you thought you could continue to lose without the surgery ? I still want the surgery I just want to explore everything else first - I have tried several diets, phen fen and exercise.. still a 'thick gal'
