Thanks, I'm already on antidepressants. My therapist and I will reevaluate after surgery to see if my meds need to change.

My doctor recommends that, post surgery, you be put on anti depression meds to cope with the changes. You may not realize you are acting differently. Sometimes due to weight loss, the hormone changes can play a number on your balance.

I mentioned this to another user. You most likely did an MMPI personality inventory. They are 568 questions long. If I were you I would call his office and get a copy of the results. They are super interesting to read and are usually dead on about your personality.
Transitioning from lapband to bypass on June 12!

I really would not stress over it. This is the least of your worries. I was told at the end of my first ever pysch I was a good candidate and I had the green light. The fact you are truly losing any kind of weight before the surgery is also proof you are trying and ready to meet this weight issue head on. I will say the more you prepare yourself before surgery the easier it is to stay on track right after surgery. I was not ever fatigued or really felt like I had the surgery because I had already gone down to 800 calories a day. I seriously didn't feel like I even had the surgery. l continually have to remind myself - I go in the kitchen and see food my husband has left and go to reach for it and remember nope can't do that anymore.

I had a pysch that worked with the Bariatric surgeon's office. All they are looking for is if you are stable for the surgery and that you are going into it for the right reasons. I was more put off by him asking every few minutes if I had the money to pay for it and how much it was. He asked what my childhood was like and my current life situation. I also filled out this 600 bubble questionnaire - which I never saw what became of it.
