No. I was on an antidepressant when I had surgery and was going through the process. If it improves your mental health, you will be better prepared for surgery and recovery. Blaming your husband isn't going to help any, quite frankly. Our feelings are our own. You need to start taking responsiblity for them and for yourself, Brigitte. Not trying to be harsh, but you really need to take a look at your thoughts and behaviours and start to own them.

I agree taking responsibility for you re emotions is very empowering. I was not trying to blame him. I ve always be a strong person. Single mom for 10 years, put myself trough college will working and taking care of my son, first husband cheated on me with sister, people dying right and left, another sister that I help taking care of because she has autism and my parents are getting older and need help, maybe it s time for Brigitte to get help! There are just lots of factor to consider that is hard to all explain on the bored. Just trying to figure things out. Think I will tray the medication it can t be worse. Thanks for the input.

If you are experiencing depression, it needs to be treated. Left untreated, you could drop rather drastically and not be able to work or function.
The bariatric centre wants to know that all medical conditions are stable prior to surgery. They will ask you if you are taking any medications (I remember having to bring my prescription bottles with me for PATTS).
It is so much better to get this sorted out now. The surgery itself sometimes is upsetting to some people.
All the best Brigitte,

Good for you for recognizing that you need assistance. Keep in mind that after surgery you will not be able to absorb extended-release medications in the same way you can now, so to avoid having to switch your medication in the future you may want to request a drug that is 'regular' release. Good luck.
