Well done, you are fortunate that you don't have any psychological issues around food but many people do. You may find this study of some interest.
And yes, I do know many people whose problems are grounded in emotional responses, having worked in mental health for over 34 years. If you want specific stats I'm am sure Dr Google will provide

With Alzheimers now being termed by some as Type 3 diabetes I wonder how how many psychological issues are in fact down to a generally disordered metabolism? Could some degree of hyperinsulinemia be a cause/major contributory factor of some mental health issues as well as obesity? Until we start measuring it who can say for sure...Well done, you are fortunate that you don't have any psychological issues around food but many people do. You may find this study of some interest.

But how many wouldn't have needed bariatric surgery in the first place if the NHS had helped them long before they got to be morbidly obese?
There is a problem with the NHS intervening before overweight becomes a clinical problem and that is that they would be accused of interfering in peoples lives, being the Nanny State, fat shaming etc. After all there are campaigns for Plus Size Models, Big is Beautiful etc. So what are they to do? How many people go to the GP for a routine check, hear that their BMI shows overweight and actually do anything about it? If the Eatwell Plate was modified to reduce the carbohydrate fraction, would it make any difference to the general population who don't look at it until their weight has become a problem, if at all. I don't know what the solution is but if we are going to complain that the government or the NHS are not doing the right thing we need to decide what the right thing is first.
It would have made a difference to me! The doctor told me to lose weight because my blood pressure was too high and because my heart was out of rhythm. I said I had tried so many diets and none had worked, then he said I needed to put on weight before he could help me! The right thing is to listen to the patients and not judge them to be out of control gluttons.
I think it's referring to the programme which I was referred to and lost on low carb dieting but readded it after insulin increases in metformin's absence. Not diabetics only are referred to it.
Dieticians do say that now. They carry cals and carbs around for reference.
The programme referred to is the programme you have to be educated on before you can have the op but op not compulsory. Education sessions are. Psychologist for eating disorders too. Op... No.
Will you be allowed to low carb after the op?
Hmm, so I suppose I can say that the NHS has helped me with weight loss because my GP referred me for 8 sessions of counselling to help alleviate depression. I needed another 20, but I am fortunate that the counsellor I was given was the right one for me. I find it much easier to stick to low carb/keto now my mental health is better.
Reading a lot of carnivore sites, as I do these days, as well as keto forums there are many who report significant improvements in mental health issues when they follow either of the ways of eating. Placebo maybe but if it works ....or maybe it just works?
