I am not sure if you have ever been treated for depression, but many WLS patients also have comorbid conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, etc. All of these conditions are chemical and can be managed with proper meds.
If you were a binger/purger before WLS you will still be one afterwards. The only difference is how much your stomache will hold.
If you are scheduled for stomache surgery I assume it will be expensive. You wouldnt want to have all those costs and still be dealing with the overeating at night.
You might check with your doctor about meds to help with the binge/purge evening perseverations.
