I have bipolar and had my surgery April 26th. I had a bout of depression right after but I really believe it was true sadness and anxiety rather than a mood swing. I haven't had any absorption issues. I switched to Wellbutrin HR which can be crushed (it tastes HORRIBLE, just a warning [emoji1]).
Overall I feel so much better. I am taking a lot less of my anxiety med and I am generally very stable. Of course period hormones are still an issue, but it isn't as bad.
I also actually get those mythical endorphins from exercising that everyone used to talk about!!



Juni I'm scared and expecting the depression that I'm going to feel. It's a huge step having the surgery and the experience of being post op the 1st 2 weeks.
I'll be messaging you definitely,you'll have to give me tips on coping mechanisms. I'm having Bariatric bypass 11th July. Gita xx

Im the chick that started this post. Bipolar 2 and im 3 weeks post op and doing great. No regrets!


I'm glad you're doing well. I'm hoping to have a sleeve in October and I also have bp2 plus anxiety and psychosis. It took a long time to get "stable" and I am a little worried about my meds but glad to know some peoples meds still do OK. Good for you and thanks for posting.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
