Hi everyone,

I was wondering if others suffer from depression
because of their weight and health problems? I suffer
from depression, my health problems,(heart, arthritis
in my joints and the breakup of a long term marriage).
I’m currently taking 3 medications for this. I guess
my main question is, will this have any impact on
whether or not I would be ok’d for WLS?

I would greatly appreciate any input.

Depression in general should not stop you from having WLS. Hi everyone, I was wondering if others suffer from depression because of their weight and health problems?
