After Bariatric Surgery-psychological changes observed.

Psychosocial effects after bariatric surgery. 
 


After the weight loss, patients report changes 
undoubtedly desirable, such as an increase in their activities and 
skills, reduction of joint pain (knees, hips, back) and other medical conditions, ability to project into the future, better relationships (family / social) and more occupational and labor willing. 


Although in general the expected changes are positive, are not immediate, and is therefore very important to have patience and take everything as a gradual process.

As a general trend, many studies show decreased negative psychological states (especially depression and anxiety) associated in the past with obesity. In part because of the weight loss itself, but also as a result of a new attitude, hope, optimism and above all, commitment to one's recovery and the opportunity to live better. These changes, in some patients are permanent, but not in others, again given the conditions described. 
 
With depression, as well as with anxiety, they can decrease after surgery, but way be reactivated during the recovery itself, as adaptive reaction to the new conditions and requirements of 
a lifestyle very different from usual. Patients may have difficulty adapting to the limitations both psychologically as well as new possibilities of surgery, as mentioned in the following picture:
