My Pre-op was today and surgery RNY next Wednesday. The fear has officially kicked in. I was set for sleeve but surgeon thinks bypass is best because I already have GERD. What makes me nervous is that some people can go a little off mentally after bypass.

I'm still pre op as well and trying to decide between sleeve and bypass too. My surgeon was no help to me as he thinks either procedure will work well for me. What do you mean by "People can go off a little mentally with bypass?"

Like crazy. They're not sure why but it has happened. Not really frequent and it stands out for me because I have a depression and anxiety diagnosis so that's how it came up for me.

Read above. Two different surgeons told me about this. Don't panic. It was a flag for them about me because I have a depression diagnosis

I haven't had surgery yet, but I've seen threads on the forum where vsg patients also have those symptoms. It seems to be the release of hormones from fat shrinking. I've read that fat stores hormones so when losing weight, generally people become emotional and hormonal. This is especially true for wls because the weight is coming off so rapidly.

Oh ok...well thanks for the clarification. I guess this just reinforces the fact that I need to make finding the right therapista high priority for post op life.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery. RNY gastric bypass surgery is a good choice because you have GERD. Sleeve will only make the condition worse.

After surgery as your fat cells break down they release hormones and other chemicals stored away in these cells. Thus you might experience a flush of hormones entering your system. This condition does not last forever. It is only during the weight loss phase around 6 or 8 months for RNY surgery. These hormones and chemicals are flushed through your kidneys and expelled in your urine. Therefore it is a good point to use filtered Water rather than city tap Water during this time to reduce the load on your kidneys.

Hope all goes well. I got sleeve 10 May and have done ok so far. Been traveling so hard to find foods but all considered I'm glad I got it done. One thing we have found that's good is smoothie King which we get angel food 20 oz which I sip as we drive. Lasts 1 1/2 hour that was.
