Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 I got a call today from a friend. He said he was concerned about this surgery. He has been on the diet merry-go-round for a while as well. Anyway, he posed an interesting statement, that no one has brought up to me before. He said he did not want me to have this surgery, because: " he likes me the way that I am, and that he heard that after this surgery, ones personality changes. " Now to tell you the truth, I like that. he was concerned for me as an individual and whatmy personality might be like after the surgery. Cool. My reply was that I do know some friends who have lost alot of weight from the RNY surgery. I also do know that their personality has changed. Ones who were happy before the surgery, now seem quite and depressed. I do not see that with this group. Maybe I am being blind. But I have to ask, Those of you who are post op, What is your experience with this? I know that those recently post op will have some depression, but I mean those who are a ways out. Can you help me to undersatand this part of the surgery? Those I have talked to personally seem to love the DS and I don't see any real problems. But I didn't know them before the DS, so I have nothing to compare. I know some will say that you have to consider the complications of being obese as to compared to personality. I know this and have now desire to change my mind. just would like to know how this part works so I can reply to he correctly. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
