Depression issues-bipolar-after surgery
swtpea637 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a visit today with my pre-surgery counselor today....she suggested I ask if anyone out there is bi-polar and how they are dealing with the emotional issues after surgery....Can anyone tell me how they dealt with this? thanks -

Im extremely nervous about the whole process....I know I'll be happy with the reward ....and I'm up for the challenge ... but I'm eating out of control and I know its due to the nervousness. I haven't started my pre-op diet and I think with this over eating I am just going to make it worse....anyone out there going thru the same thing or have any advise as to calm my nerves? I'm open to any suggestions...thank you

The BIG Book on the Gastric Sleeve!
swtpea637 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just bought this book 3 days ago and I'm loving it .... it DOES explain A LOT!!!! It's truly a must read...I've even suggested to my counselor to pass on to other people who are having the sleeve done or even someone who is just considering the process...Thanks for the Book...It's just what I've been looking for -
I haven't had my sleeve done yet .. but I'm reading a book called The Big Book on the gastric sleeve ... so far it's been informative ... it covers a lot ... pre-surgery, recovering from surgery, post op care...dealing w/post operational emotional challenges and phases 1, 2 and 3 of the diet ... maybe something to help until you find a mentor

June 25th surgery date! Getting nervous!
swtpea637 replied to cherylmonz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is so far scheduled for Aug 29th ... I'm very nervous as well...I've heard people say they've done well but would never do it again...is it that bad? I know there's going to be challenges and I'm up for that ... but I'm looking for a general idea of what I'm going to be up against ... I want to be armored for this adventure... :-) -
