Bipolar, diagnosed a year ago. Had surgery three years ago and doing well, lost 120 lbs, but gained 15 lbs back in last two months. Have been manic and that tends to fuel eating for me. Has anyone else found this? Also have problem with compulsive night eating. Think meds need adjusting. Any ideas anyone?

My understanding is that we all regain some weight after we reach our lowest weight.

I don't think suffering from any of these ailemnts can act as a hindrance in undergoing the gastric bypass surgery until you have a good experienced doctor to back you. All of these can be dealt with ease if precautions are taken. Though I don't know for sure but I have heard that doctors take care of all these in advance.

I was diagnosed in 2009 after a severe manic episode. I also have PTSD, OCD and anxiety. My psychiatrist wrote a letter to my surgeon stating that I can make my own decisions about surgery and it would likely improve my mental state. My bipolar is well under control. The surgeons office accepted that as my psych eval. Which made me very happy. I don't want to spend the money on their psychologist or take take that 400 question test.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
