Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone here who has had the gastric bypass has mood changes?   before my wife had the surgery we never argued and a girl we knew had the surgery and warned us that there would be mood changes.  and just to expect it.  I would say after 6 months it started.   We can be getting along awesome and bang she is in a bad mood.  it can be something like she cant find a shirt she wants to wear or forgot to do something.  or if I ask her a question (a simple question)  and she gets mad.   Or if I start to talk she sighs or rolls her eyes. this never happend before surgery.   Has anyone who thats reading this thats had the surgery or a spouse thats dealing with this aslo?   I need help with this.,  because I'm lost and do not know what to expect.  I hope it gets better.

No responses to this? 

I hope things are better for you and your wife. There are hormonal changes that happen with bypass surgery. Your wife might want to work with a therapist to help identify when issues are hormonal or she's having other issues around her WLS. We go through a lot of changes - physically, physiologically, and psychologically.

So it is "normal", but that doesn't mean they can't be addressed.
