Hi, I'm new to this site, and desperate to find help. There is only one support group in my area and it's on a night when I go to school. I also haven't been able to find a counselor who has lap band experience. I've been really down since having my surgery. I have crying jags and "buyer's remorse". I think the remorse is normal, but what about the crying/depression? I have Bipolar 1 and am very worried that this will bring on an episode. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions, or tips from people who have experienced this? Thanks

Thanks everyone for your advice. I stopped the pain med on Wednesday and I do feel a lot better. I had to divide my psych med because it was too big to take the full does all at one time. It's been tough to remember to take four doses a day instead of two. I think I've forgottend to take it a few times. That probably has something to do with the mood swings too. Again, great advice, and thanks.
