Depression any one?....

[Zoii 9]

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
