I decided in spite of having sza that I would have weight loss surgery. It is simply the worst decision I could have made. Within a month of the surgery I was completely out of control. I was so manic and did horrible things. Then I walked out on my marriage. I stayed manic for a long time and ended up getting into a horrid relationship. I now have some kind of funky eating disorder and have gained a bunch of the weight back. It’s a horrible surgery for anyone with mental health issues. And no one is doing anything about it. Please if you are thinking of it get lots of support from your pdoc to make a sound decision. I wish I had.

Also a friend of mine with some mental health issues had the same surgery and ended up doing some bad things, ended up an alcoholic with suicidal tendencies, nearly lost his family. He directly relates it to the surgery. He’s now 6 months clean!!! Celebration!! But has gained most of the weight back. He’d tell you the same thing as me.
sorry to hear you went through all that @FatMama . Hope they can get you stablelized and feeling better.
