I have to say I'd be careful with a SSRI such as Zoloft they all cause significant weight gain. That said living with panic attacks and depression is no good either so you have to do what's best for your health. A psychiatrist would be best to advise you on it. There are meds that don't have the wt gain side effect if that is even something you are worried about. Deep breaths and Good luck with it.

Congrats! That's amazing! Be proud that was hard work you did!

That's so nice!

I would have preferred to go to the one at the Perelman center as I find it easier to get to. So maybe I will catch you there at one sometime. Definitely it's easier to have everything through the same place. Good luck with it! I'm sure it's exciting to have come this far!

I definitely didn't catch it. I was distracted by my kids reading it which is prob everyone else reading the post too [emoji23]

LOL what's it say about me when I didn't even notice? I think to edit you highlight the post until a menu bar comes up with an edit option.

I went to my first one this past Saturday at Presbyterian. Maybe I'll catch you at one sometime. Good luck with your upcoming surgery! Are you getting that done at Penn too?

That's awesome. I think they have a great program there. I've been happy so far but also nervous! Do you ever get to any of the support meetings?

Thanks for the reply. I think it's great you are open about it. And that's true that its a lesson for our kids to learn about healthy eating and the consequences of our choices. You are right to not care what others think too because ultimately you're getting healthy and improving your quality of life so what is wrong with that.

It's funny how kids take in the things that we are focused on as I'm sure being 2 months out it's been a major change for you. As for rude chick fil a employees I have no words. Good for you for not letting it get to you! Best of luck to you!!

I know exactly what you mean. I have a 9 year old who I'm debating on telling for that reason.

I'm getting it at Penn too with Dr. Williams

Anyone who has had the sleeve surgery have small or school aged children? Did you tell them beforehand? How did they process your weight loss and physical change?

I think it's important to hear both experiences when going into this. Thank you for sharing. Hope things get better for you!

Thanks for the reply. I'm so sorry to hear that and of your experience. I totally agree that counseling is needed through this process. Best of luck.
