Have you consulted with a surgeon about Gastric Bypass? Honestly, I do not know what effects it would have on you being an MS patient.
Depression is common in MS patients. It could be short lived or long term.
Being wheelchair bound must be difficult. Have you spoken with your neurologist about this? Did you gain this weight since being in your chair? What medications do you take? Does any of them cause weight gain?
How long have you had breathing problems? Recently? Have you been evaluated for this?
I too have MS and for now I am able to get around on my own but I know that any moment it could be taken away from me.
There is a anti-inflammatory diet that I posted in the Fibromyalgia Forum which I tried earlier this year. I lost 8 pounds within a short amount of time just by sticking to approved foods to eat. Absolutely no bread, pasta or prepackaged foods. I was not trying to lose any weight it came off just by changing the foods that I ate. Apparently it was weight that I did not need.
Google Asa Andrew and you may find the tools that you might need to succeed in your weight loss and by losing weight your breathing problems may disappear and depression lifted
