Thanks again for your kind words. You have been so very thoughtful. As far as depression treatments, I have been on about 50+ different meds and none of them have ever helped. I have been told that I just don't respond to meds, so I am kind of on my own. As far as a therapist, I had a REALLY good one, but then I moved away and got married and haven't been able to find one I like yet. I have suffered from depression sicne childhood due to abusive parents and have been on disability because of it since 2004. My wife is very compassionate and accepting of my lot in life and very loving when I am down. However, she can't help much in the weight department as she also struggles with weight issues, but doesn't want/ can't afford the lapband. Mine was covered 100% through Medicare or I wouldn't have been able to get it. We actually just got back from a 7-day Caribbean cruise! YAY! But now back to real life. Again, THANK YOU for your kind words!!! Thank you so much! Your kind words are very meaningful! And you can do ANYTHING!!! Good luck! When do you get banded?
