I am 36 years old mother of 3, and 6 years post op. I've had just about every possible side effect and have had to put it bluntly...I hate the way my experience has gone. I was HW 306 PRE OP 236 current weight 150 but fluctuates up and down. I've had to work hard at staying above 125lbs I got so ill from malnutrition from consuming not enough calories. I've struggled with deep depression bouts and even almost suicidal sometimes. I was a very happy and socially busy "fat gurl" but now I can honestly say I am a introvert have no close friends anymore and I look way older now I have over 16 lbs of skin in my mid section I hate it.
My kids used to think I was fun and loved being with me. Today they would tell you they love when I go to their events because I am the hip and pretty mom. But I can't hang with them for long and I get tired. It's been different getting so much attention from others hitting on me now but I get angry because if they knew me before they never would of asked me out. I was sexually assaulted last year and ever since I can't seem to pull my self out of the blues and fear. I was never afraid before but from being sick from the Vitamin deficiencies etc I am weakened and do not have the strength to defend my own safety anymore.
ADVISE I GIVE ANYONE DOING THIS USE FACE CREAM AND WRINKLE CREAM RELIGIOUSLY, DO NOT LET THE SURGERY CHANGE YOUR INNER SELF. STAY DRINKING PLENTY OF Water AND FIND Snacks YOU ENJOY AND ENJOY THEM. DONT BE TO HARD ON YOURSELF YOU ARE ALEAYS YOUR WORST CRITIC.
I am not sure if anyone else has hAd this type of experience. Or if I am just a fluke but it's really not been a fun time. I don't like being tiny I feel vulnerable all the time. But I am spiritual and I got faith in my higher power he's got a plan for me.

I feel so bad for you. I am having my surgery soon and I already struggle with depression (on meds). I have read that this is normal but "apparently" disappears after a short while. This really concerns me. I hate to put all my dirty laundry on here for everyone to read, but I thank you for sharing your story. I wish the best for you.
