Omg! I really needed to read this...I'm having melt down after melt down. I meeting with my dr. Aug 1st for Pre- surgery appt. (surgery date Aug. 19) and have gained 10 lbs. since last month. So afraid he's gonna kick me out. I' m yelling at my daughter, she's 23 so she knows her mother is a blithering idiot when under duress. I'm griping at the dogs and cats and my husband just shakes his head. All of a sudden this life change stuff has really hit home and all my excitement has turned into a big mess - ME!
On a more serious note... Since my psych EVAL, I decided to keep weekly appts. With my psychologist for support up to the big day. Also, I have severe fibromyalgia and she's working with me with my pain with biofeedback,etc.
We discussed mood stabilizers like LAMECTIL - so is anyone on depression meds now? Does the new tummy accept them? Please, anyone?
