I actually went through a severe case of depression about 4 years ago, and since that time have done well on prozac, wellbutrin and a small dose of abilify.

Thanks all. I'm glad I know I can come here for support if I do start feeling down after my surgery.

I am concerned about only being able to take 2 weeks off work after surgery. I haven't been there a year, so FMLA doesn't apply. Luckily I work 24 hours a week only. I'm so afraid of going back that soon and being so tired. I do sit at a desk for the most part, but still concerned...

Pain in legs ankles and feet

Thanks. I'm wearing a compression sock currently, called a foot angel. It is helping some, but was hoping the loss of weight would also help.. -
Literally sitting in bed crying right now

I'm scheduled for Oct 29th but already losing sleep worrying about the changes. I'm 56 and worried about being put to sleep and how I will handle all the life changes. I read a horror story and really freak out. I know in my heart and head, however, that I have to do this to save my life. Try meditation. It often helps me when I'm stressed. Deep breathing... -
I'm so sorry to hear this, but believe and hope things will get better for you. Please keep me posted, as I'm scheduled for the surgery October 29th

I'm experiencing ankle pain in both ankles too. I am really hoping that losing weight will alleviate the pain. -
My hubby came home with regular pain pills to take along with his nexium and wellbutrin. He never crushed anything. I hope I will be able to swallow pills after mine.

You go girl!

I should be getting my date hopefully today, which I am hoping for last week in October. -
At over four months, found out I was taking my supplements all wrong...

I also will be taking my 3 antidepressants in addition to my bariatric medications. I hope I'm able to d/c the cholesterol meds and Metformin. I'm really concerned how in the world will I get all these meds in? -
So sorry to hear of your setback. I'm so glad you are on your road to recovery. Please keep us posted

Shopping in the junior department, riding a carousel horse and having my picture taken, seeing my first husband again with my new me, going to a class reunion for the first time, snow skiing for the first time. I'm 56 and have been overweight since I was 28

Well I didn't buy anything too small I don't think.. My cw is 254. I bought size 14. Does that sound reasonable? I'm 5'6.

I'm nervous too about it, but have to admit it was so unreal shopping in the junior's department today

I have battled depression since I was 21. I'm now 56. I'm concerned about being depressed after the surgery, although my depression is controlled well right now with medication. I know that losing weight will not cure my chemical imbalance, just hoping it will give me more self confidence. Did you have to adjust your psychotropic meds after surgery?
-
Leroy how are you doing now?

Someone told me to plan on 2 weeks
-
I was wondering exactly the same thing...

Congratulations on a job well done!
