Pre-surgery depression?

I've survived the pre-op diet. Insurance is paying. Surgery is in 2 days. I should be really happy but I'm not. I feel really blah. Does anyone else have this? Thoughts?

I have felt a little bit that way over the last week. I am getting sleeved on Thursday and it seems that lately I have been really tearful and not for any reason. I think it's normal though, we are about to do something that is truly lifechanging - lots to process.

Absolutely normal. I am one month out and even though I burp after EVERYTHING I eat, I am sooooo happy. I had major anxiety, depression, and even a week after the surgery I was questioning what I had done. This website seriously gave me so much support and lots of answers along with my doctor. I know the burping will also go away within the next couple of months and I will always have this wonderful feeling of being satisfied from less than a quarter of what I used to eat. Not to mention I am almost down 30 pounds already! Don't worry, go with it. I think everyone has had some kine of post or pre-op depression.

OK, it wasn't depression after all--it was hormones. I woke up this morning and Flo had come to town, if you get my meaning. I'm feeling much better!

Its all part of the greiving process, we are about to loose something that has been a big portion of our lives -- ie Addiction to food. Good luck on your surgery.:thumbup1:
