Had sleeve May 2 , 2017

why do I feel so suicidal? I'm so regretting this surgery.

Try to get in with your primary care physician too. They can run some tests (bloodwork) to make sure there isn't a physical cause.

Hope you start feeling better soon!

@Berry78 did you have surgery?

I really feel like the admin of this board should be stepping in here. Having suicidal thoughts is a big deal and needs to be dealt with immediately.

Mucheca, do you have anyone at your house you can tell these feelings to? Have you made a plan as to how you would kill yourself?

Please contact your surgeon's office ASAP and tell them what you told us. Another resource is:

Also, here's a list of organizations. I'm not sure how updated it is, but maybe it will be helpful. You did the right thing by reaching out. Please let us know that you're ok.

Yes, I had a sleeve done in Mexico 10 weeks ago. I'm fortunate that I didn't have post op depression, but I have had post partum depression, and it sucks. I actually found a homeopathic remedy that helped with that. It is called Depressequel, though I'm not sure how easy it is to find anymore. It is nasty drops that you put under the tongue.

You aren't alone in this, and things WILL get better. Get out a piece of paper and pencil, and write down all the happy things you have done in your past, and all your hopes and dreams for the future. Focus your mind on the positive.

@Berry78 thank you . I'm my way to ER with my mother .

I was also sleeved on May 2nd and feel the same way.

Awe, don't worry....a lot of hormones are stored in our fat & when we loose weight, we get a little over emotional. It's a big life change, but a positive one! Once your rested up and eating/drinking all the recommneded protein & fluids you'll feel better. Just think about what your regretting? Pigging out? Well that's what got you here in the 1st place, try and come to terms with the loss of food as a friend. Say hello to food as a healer, and choose well!

So glad you're heading to the ER and that you reached out to your mom. Good job.

I am glad you are getting help.
I suffer from depression myself and have been hospitalized for it.
I actually had to get ECT during one of my hospital stays.
Electro Convulsive Therapy, it is shock therapy used to treat depression.
I have not been sleeved yet, and I am scared as to how I will be mentally after surgery.
Being hospitalized is not fun, but it is the safest place for you right now.
