I spent four years after my surgery dealing with severe mood swings and personality changes. Much of these have been diagnosed as a form of PTSD caused by extreme weightloss. Even if you don't show signs of mental illness losing the weight in its self is a massive change with huge emotional factors. I am now living the best life I can trying to get out from under the issues I have. I was much like the author of this article. I wasn't told many of the things that could happen as a direct result of weightloss. Now I don't blame anyone for these things I would rather live like I do now rather thAn living so large I didn't fitt into my own life. Most people who need surgery to lose weight have some form of mental issues so there is no telling how each and every person will react.
