Hi everyone, I know that most men refuse to talk about feelings but I need to know if this is normal. I had the VSG 3 1/2 months ago. I've lost a lot of weight and was really happy about it. Now I'm going through some pretty extreme emotional mood swings. My feelings get hurt at the drop of a hat. I've really been feeling sad, lonely, and depressed. Is anyone else going through this? Do you know if there's anything that can be done to help?

Hi, yes I've suffered depression all my life. It has been controlled well with medication for years. The type of emotions that I'm feeling now far surpasses the problem that I started out with. The responses from all the great people on here have helped me understand what's going on, which makes me less afraid that it's a permanent problem. Thanks very much.

For some reason I'm not looking quite like that ; ) fantastic job!

I live in a small town and have zero gay friends here. I do believe that my gat friends in Dallas would have been supportive.

Amazing. .. i just found this site about an hour ago and joined. Already so many caring people have shared support. Miss Mac you've got a good guy there.

I'm sorry about your friend Jeff. I kind of feel like I might be driving some of mine away too.

All good information and advise, thanks. I wouldn't say it makes me feel better to know some of you are going through it too, but it does help to know I'm not alone in this which means it must be normal.

Thank you, that's very helpful as it sounds a lot like what I'm experiencing. You say that you're still depressed, I hope it gets better for both of us.

Thanks and I agree but what I'm wondering is if this might be a physical side effect.
