Anyone out there with mental disorders? How did you do and how did it affect mood. How or did your meds change a lot?

I have Aspergers,ADHD and bi polar but I'm pre op so I'm not sure

I am bipolar and have had surgery. I don't think it has effected me in any way. I have had problems getting a good weight loss that the surgeon and nutritionist feel is due to antipsychotic meds. But that doesn't seem to bother others I have seen on the board.

I think everyone has some form of being bipolar. Especially when it came to food and this surgery.

I don't really think you know what or how serious being bi polar is!! Not when you make statements like that!

Sheesh.. Simmer down hot rod! Let's converse not get hostile right out of the gate

I am bipolar -- have been since i was 14.

The surgery hasn't effected my symptoms or the way i feel in a negative way. My medication will need to be adjusted soon because of the 40 pound weight loss.

Thanks for the info!!

At least maybe the weight loss will help with depression stemming from self image? I'm looking forward to relief from that... I'm also bipolar. I know some meds CAUSE weight gain, others are weight neutral. I just saw my psych a week ago and surgery is Wednesday. He said some adjustments may be necessary. I think it wld be due to side effects increasing bc of weight loss.
