I have never had an issue with depression before, but woke up on Day 1 sore, tired and depressed. I know this is the right step for me, but wasn't expecting this reaction. Anyone else dealing with it?

Ok I keep looking at this and waiting for someone to reply... And so far no one ??

Your stuck with me ;)

It sounds like you just had the surgery.. The one thing that caught me by surprise is that it was such a painful experience and I had plenty of days wondering if I made the right move. I was really down for a couple if days. After about 3 weeks I felt like me again and that I was able to function normally.

I guess what I'm say is hang on there it gets better :)

You're not alone. I'm only 2 days post op, barely got home today and this unexplainable sadness came over me. Hopefully as time passes buy and our scars heal, our mental scars will heal as well.

I was very sad in the beginning. And some days still three months out. But it does get easier. Be strong!

Thanks. Each day is getting better, and I have only felt a case or two of the blues since. Think it was just waking up to such a culture shock, and because I woke up early, my wife wasn't there yet, no one was online to chat with, etc.

Wait a bit, but if you're still having problems, ask your PCP about Xanax short term. It can be a lifesaver. I started with that several years ago and ended up needing a long term solution so I switched to Celexa. It was shocking to me that a pill of any sort could so drastically reduce my sadness, anxiety, and fear.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
