There has been more on emotional issues and suicide with those who have had bariatric surgery, and I could not be happier that this is at the forefront, but at the same time I want to say duh!!! Is it really that surprising that people who are or have been obese could be depressed as well? Of course the rate of depression is going to be higher with the obese. And if we don't deal with the emotional issues as to why we have walked down this path then yes when we remove our coping mechanisms, shit is going to hit the fan so to speak... there are so many speaking out on this and I am proud... this has been something that I have felt so strongly about from the beginning... I want to thank all those who are posting on this subject... I don't think that this can be reiterated enough...
