I was refused for gastric-bypass surgery..supposedly the doctor was worried that my mental health would be an issue. Why would I be refused on those grounds? It's not like I wouldn't be compliant with the aftercare or the diet..is it that they're afraid I might get a relapse or become unstable? Or is it that someone at my mental-health treatment program(I'm seeing a PACT team for mental health issues and have been stable since 1998)told them something about my being a compulsive overeater? What is so bad about someone with mental-health issues who is obese getting the surgery? Just curious.
