Sorry about your depression. Having read other posts on this forum, some people say that losing weight changes your hormones which can lead to depression in some people. Have you called your surgeon? He probably could help you.

There are hormonal changes with the surgery. Some do suffer with depression. Maybe you could contact your surgeon's office and meet with the psychologist who did your pre-op clearance. Keep in mind you are mourning the loss of food. Hoping soon you will feel the joy of starting a new life's journey.
 
Hi Johnni, sorry I haven't been on sooner but my computer has been up and down. How are things going for you?
