Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not a contraindication to gastric bypass in veterans with morbid obesity.
Surg Endosc. 2010; (8): 1892-7
The veteran population is routinely screened for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The prevalence of obesity in this population continues to increase. We examined whether weight loss outcomes in veterans with PTSD is comparable to results in veterans who do not suffer from PTSD, after gastric bypass. We also examined the effect of bariatric surgery on PTSD symptoms.
