Walter, please go and see your psychiatrist. It’s okay to feel depressed. Just need to have a way of releasing it in a healthy and positive way.

That’s true. It could be the assurance

It's more than reassurance. From reading here, I'd be the bad husband... It's just me. But when we got together, I made commitment to him - a commitment I'm going to honor. But I also have to state that this journey is not ALL ABOUT ME. It's about him as well. This is going to effect his life as much as mine. It effects my parents as well. Same goes for my employees who I make a weekly habit of buying lunch.< br />
I have to be as appreciative and grateful, publicly and honestly, about their support, as they are supportive of me.

I read somewhere that after surgery hormones can be also be out of balance, it’s a major surgery and many changes take place while we recover. If your symptoms continue, speak with your surgeon first.

I take medicine for my depression. I used to go to a psychologist, and things were getting better. I stopped seeing him and now I feel like killing someone.



Maybe go back then???? I just starting seeing a new psychiatrist last week and I no longer have insomnia!! It was the best move I've made. My precious one, since 2013 just couldn't figure out how to fix my insomnia. So I fired her...lol


Best wishes!

You are so strong. I know this because anyone who chooses this surgery has to have great strength. If you are exclusive with him and he didn’t come to the hospital, you deserve so much better!!! I’m five days post op and we are probably going through many of the same feelings and i know this is a brutal time to make huge changes... but you’re about to go though some amazing and positive changes. If he can’t be there for you through the tough stuff... do you really want him to be able to have the good stuff? There’s another guy out there who wants both. Praying for you and no matter what happens, you’re going to get through this and you’re going to feel amazing is every way. I know it!!!!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
