Thank you, thank you for sharing your experience! You're amazing and brave! I'm going to message your privately this weekend and if you want to be anonymous or not - that's cool. Thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me. I raise my glasses to all you!

Weight Loss Surgery & Depression/Suicide....working on article, can you help a fellow patient?

Hard Absolutely not! There was study done by the University of Pitt back in 2010 and the numbers showed there an increase. Not everyone has the problem - but I know I never had panic attacks or issues with depression before I had the surgery and I know I'm not the only one, hence why I'm asking. Would never exploit - I almost died after surgery and went thru hell and back - even with the anxiety & everything - it's still the best decision I've ever made.

Hi there! I'm 4 years out from surgery - use to weight 448 and now I'm 188. Woo! Thank you Dr. Ameri! So as a patient, I'm working on an article for Vice regarding life post surgery and how depression/suicide is a problem for patients. I know I take medicine with anxiety/panic attacks now & dealing with nonsense has been tougher. Is there anyone else out there with this problem - that would be open to talking? I can keep you anonymous if you want? I can be reached at samanthajocelynnoyes@gmail.com - thanks!!!
