after bypass surgery are there major changes in the way you act,like mood changes etc.?

Answer 1

After any kind of trauma to the body, a persons mood will be altered for a while...months even. Hopefully, after major by-pass surgery, the person will make changes in their unhealthy lifestyle.

Answer 2

My best friend got bypass surgery in October of last year. She has always been the fat, funny one. The one whose personality made up for everything she lacked in looks. So, she gets the bypass and is completely different. She had this awesome fiance and were planning on getting married, but a couple of months before the wedding she decides to leave him for a 42 year old man with 5 kids. Of course, the 42 year old cheats on her while she is pregnant with his baby, and then all of a sudden she wants her ex back. And he takes her back. She is unbelievable now, She thinks the sun rises and sets on her ***. I hardly even like talking to her anymore, because of the way she has changed. I think people who have been fat their whole lives, and then lose all this weight and become the center of attention, do not know how to act. I think if the person can stay grounded and remember who they are, then bypass surgery is a great thing.

Answer 3

My mom had some mood change for a short time. She felt helpless but the thing is she was not she just need a little help to get started now shes up and doing a lot of thing that she use to do. Surgery affects everone differently. After major surgery expect a few changes but they are all good.

Answer 4

Exactly which type of bypass are you asking about??? With any major surgery there are going to be long-range effects on a person.

Generally speaking, there may be change in body image due to extensive scarring, missing body parts or organs, synthetic body parts, visible external equipment and because one may feel that one's body has "betrayed" him or is no longer reliable. One may feel ugly or undesirable.

There is often depression because one may feel hopeless about one's condition or have death anxiety. This frequently occurs after cardiac bypass. Postop patients may feel that they're walking time bombs just waiting to explode. They may be afraid to resume their normal activities, such as sex. And then there are those who have an epiphane -- they feel lucky to be alive and they embrace life with both arms and make every day count.

Any kind of bypass is bound to have a dramatic effect on a person.

Answer 5

Yes. My husband got a triple bypass at the end of April. I've been monitoring him, physically and emotionally ever since he got out of the operating room.
The physical changes are pending on the individual (do more exercise, eat more healthy...etc).
Emotional is also depending on their personality.
My husband became more "picky", more grouchy than before the surgery. Sometime I could not stand him and he's only in the mid 40's)

Answer 6

In the people I've observed, the only changes I've seen are positive ones. Their mood generally improves because they feel better and aren't so worried. I see them in cardiac rehab exercises and that generally improves their mood also. I don't be lieve the by-pass itself causes any difference, just the corrective action that it does make the person feel lots better.

Answer 7

for a few day to a few weeks, the person will be in a lot of pain and they generally go through a lot of soul searching and reflect on their life. this can sometimes translate into changes in feeling, depression but it may be passing.

Answer 8

depression is often common. especially in men.
