I discuss ? and other sleeve issues in this video. Please read the full description of this vid. A customer named Amber wrote in to our customer service help desk. She was very distraught because she was about a month post-op and was experiencing a lot of issues that no one around her seemed to understand. My best advice: Keep opening up about it. Seek out support networks online for folks who have had weight loss surgery. Losing weight this way is a lot different than losing weight the "good old fashioned way." The same things that cause regular dieters to backslide are there to trip us up too, except we've rigged our bodies to penalize us for "cheating." When you get pain in response to something that used to be a source of comfort and pleasure, it leads to disorientation and depression. The surgery and the weight loss itself can cause hormonal and chemical disruptions. (Remember -- 80% of the serotonin in your body is in your digestive tract and NOT your brain! This kind of surgery can really throw your serotonin levels for a loop and it can take months to restabilize!) This also leads to, you guessed it, DEPRESSION. Then, add into this mix a hefty dose of social isolation and it can make for a very rough, depressing ride, particularly at first. Please know that the surgery is a tool and is not a cure. The troubles you have before the surgery will still be there after, only now you will have this other stuff to contend with too. Depression is the biggest, most difficult post-op symptom to deal with and none of the weight loss docs out there seem to talk about it much with their patients prior to surgery. Everyone I know who has had this kind of surgery struggled with post-op depression, particularly in the first few weeks. Be patient with yourself and know that while this is normal, it doesn't last. It gets better. Hang in there and keep talking about it with people who have been on this road with you. The only people who will really "get it" 100% are other people who have had this kind of surgery. Don't sit in silence with it. Reach out, make connections, and share tips with other WLS patients so you can heal and thrive that much faster. Also, don't be embarrassed or ashamed to seek counseling or professional support. Sometimes this is necessary. Suspend your judgement about how you cope. You just lost a huge part of your coping and comfort strategies: FOOD. Food filled in a lot of holes in your heart that you won't even begin to fathom until it is no longer there. When your BFF becomes your frenemy, that dynamic in and of itself can be quite depressing. Be kind to yourself, your mind, and your body. You've been through a lot together. And remember: Most people who have had WLS have these experiences too...and most of us would still repeat th ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNyb6cZIdTU
