Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Your Dr. and/or insurance company may want to see that you have been stable for a reasonable period of time, like 6 mos, but that is small potatoes!
You'll be fine. Be honest with your Dr. and your psych, that is the easiest way past that hurdle.
God Bless!

She also gave me some information on how this can affect relationships and can cause past abuse issues to surface.
Others on this website said they failed their first psych eval. I'd say just to learn as much as you can about the surgery before hand so the evaluator can see you have done your homework.
Good luck!
