Had surgery 4/3/12 and have battled depression almost entire time. Anyone else had this problem?

Hello,

I was sleeved on 5/1/2012 and I was so depressed and almost angry at times - my doctor said that was because I was very nervous about everything and was/am having anxiety. Maybe check with you doctor and there might be something he/she can give and or recommend something that may help you. I walk - I can't walk far but I walk as much as I can and I really try to stay busy and most important to me - I get as much sun as I can take

I hope this helped you in some way - Good Luck

I had it bad for almost 6 weeks....depression, hopeless feeling, got really angry for almost no reason. It will pass. My best suggestion is don't make any major decisions and really think about things before you say them. I said some things to people that I wish I could take back! Now looking back, I realize I was half outta my mind! 3 months out, everythings fine now.

The first 4-6 weeks were tough, was thinking I was going to melt overnight and when it wasn't happening it was depressing. Three months out now and doing and feeling great. It will pass.

I have. Sleeved one week ago and mine is over having made a decision that cannot be undone - I think that is a normal reaction to any life- altering decision that is irreversible. I just have to keep reminding myself it will pass -- what choice do I have???

Yep- this surgery took away my best/most consistent friends: food. It's a natural thing I believe. You will pull out of it. It will get better. Lots of love!
