Hi, I searched the forums and the search isn't that great so I couldn't find an answer. Here's the question: I have bipolar and general anxiety and going over my paperwork with my mental health advocate (my therapist has already signed off on the surgery), she mentions that being bipolar and having general anxiety won't impede my surgery but it would be called off if I had borderline personality disorder (BPD), which I don't have. The very, very short explanation of BPD is someone who cannot regulate their emotions and and typically have unstable relationships such as family, professional, and romantically. It can be managed a variety of ways typically with CBT or DBT but it can be controlled. My therapist, whose had WLS themselves, has no idea why BPD would be a limiting factor. Does anyone know why?
