I was going to mention the same thing.

haha karen your funny!!! lol I had surgury almost a year ago!!  :P and it was wonderful meeting you last week!!!!!!

Well, *I* knew who I met. LOL
I'm hoping that the OP contacts you or shows up for your coffee nights in Cambridge - you'd be such an insipration to her I'm sure.

Its funny i actually told her about this site i met her though my youtube videos i havent yet met her in person yet but i am trying my best to help her out as its hard when theres not as many younger ppl getting the surgery,

That's fantastic - and you're right, it is hard.  There aren't that many of you.  So glad you saw this post. :)

I wish that I had started this journey in my 20s.  Best of luck to you!

Clinical depression is apparently a "red flag" for surgery consideration. But to me depression and obesity is a kind of chicken or the egg relationship, something worthy of a two pronged attack.

I would trust that the social worker would overlook the depression history if it was ascertained you had a proper outlook and - as you say - emotional readiness for WLS.

edit: correct my bad typos LOL

At the WLS orientation, they indicated that for anyone with other health issues, you need to be stable.  So if your current health in relation to depression is stable, you should be alright.  I used to suffer from clinical depression and have been stable for the last eight years and no longer require medication.  Good luck!
