VSG and depression/anxiety meds



Recommended Posts

I am feeling better about the psych eval, just impatient and ready to get this going already. My 1st app isn't till the 23rd n that's to meet the surgeon I guess, not sure what happens the 1st meeting.

Has anyone been on these meds and passed/failed the psych eval? What about after surgery and these meds? Has it changed where you don't need these meds anymore?

I had no problem passing but I went to support groups before my visit. They were good about telling me to be realistic about the surgery. He wanted to know that I didn't think it was going to be easy and a cure all. I take Paxil and Buspar and I suffer from both anxiety and depression.

The support meetings, I think we have to GI yo one of those anyway I could be wrong though. The only meetings like that is in Kc so I may have to go. I know its no cure all and I will have to workout and obviously eat better/smarter its a tool to help not a magic wand so to speak lol. To bad though ????????

As far as the meds, I just wasn't sure and it is great to hear so many are on meds and have passed the psych eval, didn't want them judging me cause I was on meds so to speak. Thank you and how far are you in this?

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
