I have bipolar disorder and have always gone up and down in weight along with my moods. Its only since being diagnosed that I've recognised this, my episodes of mania and depression tend to last long periods 6 months + which has typically led to huge shifts in weight +/- 112lb isn't unusual. I'm at the heaviest I've been now since 2005 and as I'm on mood-stabilising medication I can't rely on another manic episode to come along and make me lose it all again. So after a lot of thought I've decided on gastric band surgery. I'm on day 11 of the pre-op diet and my op is on Wednesday 5th May
