Anybody dealt with depression before the surgery and if so how is it now?

Unless your depression was directly related to your obesity, your depression will not be magically gone! I have struggled with severe and chronic depression since I was 15 years old. I was of normal weight until I hit 50 so there was no correlation. I still struggle but I am physically more healthy and at least have been able to get rid of the high blood pressure, diabetes and heart problems due to my weight loss. I take the same two antidepressants and, in fact, have had to add another one. Depression is a horrible, debilitating, crushing condition that few people fully understand unless they also deal with it. I watched my mother struggle and now my son which breaks my heart.
