Anyone having depression issues? If so how are you dealing with them. Anyone taking medications? Has anyone heard of Celexa and what are you thoughts on it.

I have not experienced any depression issues yet. However, I have spoken with other who have. One of my coworkers had an identity crisis about 14 months out and has been on a low dose of Zoloft to help her. Celexa is another good medication. Just remember most of these medications need to build up in blood stream before they become fully effective. So sometimes it can take 2-6 weeks depending on medication. If a month down the road you are still feeling depressed contact your doctor as you may need an increase or med change. I have also heard of some people talking with a therapist and this has helped. The biggest thing is that you get help and get the depression under control.. Best of luck

Our hormones are out of control for a while. I cried at everything the first two weeks. I was a nut ball. Then I was so ticked I could not eat. Not that I 'missed' the food, I felt unhuman. It does pass but if you are struggling call your Dr. :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
