The one thing I'm sure we all realize, even if it isn't at the forefront of our minds. The reasons you got fat in the first place, likely remain for years to come after WLS, and actually losing the weight. I would say that generally, we don't become Morbidly Obese because we like twinkies. Food is our addiction, and our crutch. Even though you've had such great success with your WLS. Your mind probally still stuggles with those old urges and self- destructive qualities. Plus it's just like Marcia said, depression often follows surgery, of any kind. Please don't beat yourself up over a few akward nights. You've done an amazing thing here, and accomplished the goal of being fit and healthy! Of all the people I know personally who have had a tummy tuck, no one has ever told me it caused the depression of any kind. Wishing you continued success on your journey!
