My husband had gstrobypass two years ago. I am worried about him. I think he is over doing it with working hard, sometimes eat to little, not getting enough water, and being tired. He does not want to talk to me about depression? What do I do to help him stay healthy? |

Dear Maola Thomas You did not say that after the surgery of Bypass now what is the weight of your husband. you should contact some psychiatrist. Individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery or gastric bypass surgery are five times more likely to commit suicide than that of the general population. The suicidal tendencies of patients who have undergone gastric bypass makes it important for patients and doctors alike to understand the link between gastric bypass surgery and post-operative depression. The most prevalent reaction that post-gastric bypass operation patients have is their disappointment that all their expectations prior to having the surgery did not materialize, as it is quite common for such patients to blame all their existing problems on their obesity. Other patients develop depression because they cannot seem to enjoy food the same way they used to as their stomachs can no longer hold the same amounts or kinds of food as before. So please consult some psychiatrist and get your husband treated for. With regards Sadhana |
