Depression any one?....



Recommended Posts

Nov. 14th 2012 was my new life changer. Gastric bypass. I was never depressed or diagnosed with anything before surgery. But after surgery I have been the most depressed person ever. I look in the mirror and I still see this big fat ugly person. But I'm not as big as I used to be. I have gained weight and don't know why?! I was 380lbs Nov. 2012, day of surgery. Then I dropped to 170lbs. Just this past year I gained weight 211lbs and I feel so disgusting. Is depression normal? Is this weight gain normal? And how do you get this weight off? Also I have allot of extra skin. Seeing it makes me sick. I don't have medical nor money so does anyone know how to go about getting skin removed cheep or free?? Thanks and God bless.

Hello Zoii
I can relate to you about feeling depress. I am 18month post op and I also feel regrets but my situation is a little different. All I can say is that you should see a therapist or talk to someone who can be there for you to support you. Talking about your feelings is very important. Talking to your nutritionist can help getting back on track and also speaking to your surgeon about excess skin may help also because insurance will cover for skin removal from what I been told and have other people's testimony. Hang in there and look into who to get back in track. Best of luck.

Thank you so much. Im going to look into the surgery. You still have a ways to go. Keep your head up. The worst part was when your body stops losing weight for a little bit and then it starts back up again. It's usually around 18 months. God bless you and thank you for the support

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
