Depending on circumstances, the antidepressants may not work.....it simply gets you by. You will still need to deal with your issues of isolation. To use a medication effectively, it takes counseling and behavior therapy in conjunction.
You will lose friends through this. How YOU relate to to others will shift. Your perceptions will change....you WILL go through ups and downs. You will face the uncertainties in your life.....and it's still there to deal with even though initially.....all your thoughts will be on FOOD, how much, how little, what types, when, hair loss, vomiting, dumping, pain......
When you think you hit a goal...another hydra head sprouts up.
Around, and around you will go.
One of my therapists had said the issues don't change...you will always have them....we just re-visit them on different levels.
I have lost everything after having WLS, marriage, home, friends, jobs, almost my life.....and gained it all back. I have mentioned it before, if it's not worth losing it all for, is it worth having it?
