Hi everyone I was sleeved in December 2015 and am feeling sick with a cold. Are we able to take any kind of cold medication? Do we need to take smaller doses? Any advice Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Everyone on this site is so supportive and encouraging I hope to feel that way to one day. It's great seeing everyone's success stories. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My highest weight was about 220 my sw was 207 cw 175. As far as my worry I worry about the unknown like how will I be with the sleeve 20 years from now? Will u have complications then. A few of my family members have also had this surgery and are doing great but emotionally this has been so hard for me. I just want to feel better/happier.

Hi everyone I was sleeved on 12/15 and was in process before for about 1 year before getting my surgery. Since surgery I have been suffering from depression and anxiety. Some days are better than others. I am not sure why I feel this way. So many people are happy and I know I should be too but I am not. Will these feelings ever go away? I am so worried about long term complications and effects of having the sleeve. I just want to be happy again. Also the hair loss has started how long will this last? I have been taking 5000 mg Biotin 2x daily and using niacin shampoo about once per week. Any advice or suggestions or just words of encouragement would be helpful.

I am happy with the weight loss but it is hard to explain that before surgery I was happy and now not so much. I have been seeing a therapist for about 1 month which seems to help. My stats are hw220 sw204 cw175 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone I was sleeved in on 12/15/15 and following my surgery I had extreme feelings of regret and depression as well as panic anxiety attacks which I never had before. I don't understand why I feel this way. I prepared for surgery for 1 year and was excited to do this but then all of a sudden after my feelings changed drastically. Has anyone dealt with this as well and how did you handle it? I words of advice? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you TheProfesser for responding. This whole process has been so difficult for me. I thought I was prepared for the changes but right after surgery things just changed for me. I hope the hair loss does not continue long. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello I am about 10 weeks out and for the last two weeks I have been losing a lot more hair than usually. I this the hair loss caused by surgery but so soon after only about 8 weeks? Does this mean it will stop sooner or be worse further out? I am taking my Vitamins and Biotin as well as using Nixon shampoo. Any advice? I had been struggling right after surgery with depression for a while and my emotions were everywhere but now most days I feel better but still have these hard days. Any suggestions advice for me in regards to hair loss and feelings of regret at times? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How do I join

I have also experienced this regret and am 9 weeks out. I still struggle with my emotions but have sought out therapy. I was so excited prior to surgery and then all of a sudden this deep regret remorse. These feelings are hard to understand. I hope this also gets better with time. I'm trying to hang in there.

Hi guys I'm new here not sure if anyone can see my posts? I'm not sure how to post a question in this app. Can anyone help me out?

I'm new to this app and can't figure out how to post a question can someone help

Thank you for responding this app is new to me and I wasn't sure if I was posting correctly. This has been hard for me but I'm trying everyday. Today was a good day I got through the day without crying. Thanks for your words of encouragement

I have also been struggling with depression since surgery and sadness everyday. I cry all the time and wish I could go back. I'm trying to accept this and move foward but everyday I have feelings of regret. Not sure why I feel this way. I have started working with a therapist a few weeks ago but everyday I struggle

I am almost 2 months out with the sleeve and physically am doing well but emotionally have been very hard. I have cried everyday and have developed anxiety over everything. I am not sure why I am so sad and have started working with a therapist for last 3 weeks. I have had 4 family members who have had the surgery and are doing fine I don't know why I can't be happy with this. I begged dr. To reverse this but I know that's not possible. I am happy with the weight loss but inside feel like I have no joy at all anymore. This is hard because I do have three children who deserve a happy mom I want to be happy again. Has anyone else had feelings like this and do they ever get better?

I am new to this app and can not figure out how to post a question hep please?

12/15 here
