Did you get the approval from your insurance and then go to another doctor? I'm wondering if I go to another doctor right now will I have to start the process over.

Hi all! I am in the waiting phase for approval to get the gastric sleeve - I struggle with depression and have since childhood. I have also been obese since childhood. My question is for those who have had depression and are now post surgery - after the initial excitement of weight loss after the surgery, did you find that at your goal weight your depression was gone or lessened? Or that it was the same and not truly linked to the weight? I asked my therapist/ doctor and it seems like no one is sure or knows any statistics. Thank you in advance!
