  1. I actually went through a severe case of depression about 4 years ago, and since that time have done well on prozac, wellbutrin and a small dose of abilify.
  2. Thanks all. I'm glad I know I can come here for support if I do start feeling down after my surgery.

    Going back to work?

    I am concerned about only being able to take 2 weeks off work after surgery. I haven't been there a year, so FMLA doesn't apply. Luckily I work 24 hours a week only. I'm so afraid of going back that soon and being so tired. I do sit at a desk for the most part, but still concerned...
  5. Thanks. I'm wearing a compression sock currently, called a foot angel. It is helping some, but was hoping the loss of weight would also help..
  6. I'm scheduled for Oct 29th but already losing sleep worrying about the changes. I'm 56 and worried about being put to sleep and how I will handle all the life changes. I read a horror story and really freak out. I know in my heart and head, however, that I have to do this to save my life. Try meditation. It often helps me when I'm stressed. Deep breathing...

    Why did I do this to myself?

    I'm so sorry to hear this, but believe and hope things will get better for you. Please keep me posted, as I'm scheduled for the surgery October 29th
  8. I'm experiencing ankle pain in both ankles too. I am really hoping that losing weight will alleviate the pain.

    Swallowing Pills

    My hubby came home with regular pain pills to take along with his nexium and wellbutrin. He never crushed anything. I hope I will be able to swallow pills after mine.

    409 to 148!

    You go girl!
  11. I should be getting my date hopefully today, which I am hoping for last week in October.
  12. I also will be taking my 3 antidepressants in addition to my bariatric medications. I hope I'm able to d/c the cholesterol meds and Metformin. I'm really concerned how in the world will I get all these meds in?
  13. So sorry to hear of your setback. I'm so glad you are on your road to recovery. Please keep us posted

    Weight loss bucket list

    Shopping in the junior department, riding a carousel horse and having my picture taken, seeing my first husband again with my new me, going to a class reunion for the first time, snow skiing for the first time. I'm 56 and have been overweight since I was 28

    New clothes

    Well I didn't buy anything too small I don't think.. My cw is 254. I bought size 14. Does that sound reasonable? I'm 5'6.

    New clothes

    I'm nervous too about it, but have to admit it was so unreal shopping in the junior's department today

    Depression and weight

    I have battled depression since I was 21. I'm now 56. I'm concerned about being depressed after the surgery, although my depression is controlled well right now with medication. I know that losing weight will not cure my chemical imbalance, just hoping it will give me more self confidence. Did you have to adjust your psychotropic meds after surgery?
