Dear Robin, You may need to explore different meds and you may need some professional support for a while if you continue feeling so depressed. Try to find some appropriate help and support so you can enjoy the new life you are working so hard to achieve. You might also need to get into a WLS support group for a while. Not many others will truly understand the enormous changes you are making. Good luck and don't give up, you've come too far! Carol in Philly

Were you depressed before you had surgery? This is November and daylight savings time just ended. It sure gets dark early. Maybe your depression is because of Seasonal Affective Disorder. I'm two weeks post-op and mine flared up again just terrible. Next follow-up with my regular doc, he and I are going to have a little chat.

I am not sure how to say this without offending you or anybody else but..... I can only assume you are young because after reading everything on this site for hours and hours, 100000sss of hours their are many people like me that are in limbo waiting for their insurance co. to approve their surgery. You are one of lucky ones who was lucky enough to have the surgery . How about we change problems ??? You can be depressed waiting for my approval??? How can you be depressed if you are losing your wieght??? If i get my approval for my surgery i shall be for ever grateful for the rest of my life.
