Journaling has helped me... Whenever something is bothering me, I just start writing. Doesn't matter what I write and often times I shred it... It's just the process to get the thoughts out of my head that seems to help. I need to do it more often! Take care of yourself!

Hi there!

Did you know that the after effects of your anethesia can make you feel blue/depressed? You are trying to get over major surgery and are facing the unkinown. All these things can make you feel depressed. Even good stress is hard. If you can be more patient and gentle with yourself, it might help. You can only do the best that you can do day to day. I have clinical depression and lived with it for years now. I know that I have bad days and better days. I have very few "high" days. I just try to understand my moods and go with them (not indulge them) and make my way through the day. I am sure the mood will pass. Just remember, you have been and will be going through lots of change. I think reaching out to others, can never hurt you. I wish you the best and be well. Hang in there Sloopy!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
