    I'm almost 6 weeks out from VSG surgery (had hernia repair at the same time). I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago and let me tell you, I was not expecting this emotional roller coaster. The mood swings have been monstrous and I really don't think I need to go back to work just yet. I cry at random and get so angry at people I just want to yell at them (and have). It's been frustrating until I went to my Ob/Gyn and he explained what's happening internally (fat stores estrogen and losing weight fast causes an estrogen roller coaster) and helped me feel better that it's a process and it will get better. We may have to tweak the estrogen Patches a few times until we get the right dosage.

    Anyone else had this issue?

    Dub, you've been a lifesaver for me today. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and I've almost talked myself out of it 100 times. Reading how well it went for you and how you're eating normal foods (just less of it) and seeing how it looks like you feel so much better puts me a little more at peace.

    Keep up the weight loss and the great sense of humor!!

    Sleeve currently scheduled for 10/26. I keep thinking that I can do this on my own and I'm a wimp for needing surgery to eat healthier and feel better, even though I've tried and tried with minimal success. I was doing ok until about 3 years ago when I had a hysterectomy. After that, the weight PILED back on and it was like I couldn't do anything to stop it.

    I'm very nervous about the side effects I'm reading about....dumping syndrome, vomiting (I'm terrified of puking and panic when I do or someone else does - probably a phobia but undiagnosed LOL, so this isn't making me feel excited about the surgery), GERD getting worse, and other issues I read about. I'm also a little nervous about trying to eat around my family. I come from a southern group where food is everything, so it'll be interesting.

    It's helped to read the comments from folks who have gone through it and I'm keeping my pre-op appt to sign the surgical waivers.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
