What hormonal changes are pple saying woman get post op?

Your signature should be anything you want it to be, without receiving criticism from others.

 Boy, that's it in a nutshell.

Hello! I can't tell you anything for long term since I was sleeved 12/30/14 but I can tell you that I am diagnosed depressed and take welbutrin. I did not take it for the 4 days in was in the hospital. I was given a script- same med, but instead of the extended release 1x a day I have to take these non extended release pills 3x/day.

I was a b**** for the first two weeks. Cranky, no patience. Just not happy, looking forward to going to bed at 8pm to end the day..... Now I don't know if it's from hormones or the fact that I was off my meds for 4 days.

I have had anxiety attacks and all that in the past, just breath through it. Your most likely going to get anxious, it's surgery. My BP was high because of my nerves. I see my psych every three months and she didn't tell me about not being able to take extended release pills. Maybe she didn't know. Just write down you med list and any questions that you have and bring them up at your next apt or call the surgeon office and talk to the nurse.

good luck!! 

Oh and I feel great now, not b***** anymore :-) 

thanks and I'm glad you are doing well

I don't know if this is at all helpful, but I don't really feel that I had any hormone dumping, depression or anxiety due to surgery.  I was prepared for it -- I had established a counseling relationship before surgery -- but other than my periods getting heavier (due to return of regular ovulation) -- I didn't suffer at all emotionally. Keep in mind, however, I didn't suffer from depression or anxiety before surgery either.

I did have hair loss -- but mine was due to surgery not hormone dumping. 

I wish you the very best.  I hope that you have no issues too.

thanks you so much, u r sweet. glad for ur success and lack of problems.

I know it's really scary to take such a huge step.  I was scared about so many things, too -- and I don't suffer from depression and anxiety.  I think the advice of establishing a relationship with a counselor before surgery is a really good one.  There are so many different feelings and emotions once we remove food as a comfort source.  I was really glad to have a non-partial person to bounce things off of in the months after surgery.  Perhaps it would be a benefit to you also.
