Unknown dangers of obesity surgeries seem to be an increase in mental problems, self harm and suicide. A new study has shown consumption of alchohol to be increased after operation.
8 years after surgery with Roux en Y, 9,2% had unhealthy alchohol use and those who underwent sleeve gastrectomy had 7,9%.
Continous surveillance seems appropriate for mental health issues and alchohol use.
