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. :-)

      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.
