WLS and emotions/hormones

Howdy all:

 

I have a few questions about wls and emotions/hormones.  I undrstand that hormones are stored in fat cells and released once weight starts dropping.  Now with that said.I currently take zoloft for depression/anxiety and I am preop.  Does this mean that once I have the surgery I will need a stronger dose to keep from being a basket case?  if is it possible that after the surgery that I may be able to come off of the meds?    I still have moments that I have panic attacks,or cry for no known reason.  I am trying to be prepared and to prepare my bf for what may be comming down the road.

 

Comments/opinions are welcome

 I've been on anti-depressants for several years.  After surgery my dosage was lowered but I will always need the help from them.  

I'm sure that each individual will react differently and keeping in touch with your Dr. is the best advice.  We are here as a sounding board for you but we are not the professionals.

Best wishes....  when is your surgery?

Millie:

thanks for the info and my surgery was scheduled for 09/08/09 but have to deal with a battle with the insurance company right now.

I will keep the boards posted.

My dosage of Zolot was reduced shortly after surgery as well. About nine months after surgery they took me off of Zoloft and put me on Celexa....I am on a very low dose and really like it better.

Good luck....we sure do go through changes that is for sure!!
