Abstract :Although bariatric surgery is an effective method used in the treatment of obesity today, many psychiatric difficulties are detected when patients are evaluated biopsychosocially during the pre-and postoperative periods. Especially when surgery is used in patients with eating disorders, different addiction problems and impulse control disorders may arise afterward. We present a clinical case of a patient with increased obsessive-compulsive symptoms, various impulsive control problems, and bulimia nervosa starting after bariatric surgery. Another feature that made this case interesting was the extrapyramidal adverse effects that occurred after fluoxetine treatment used for her psychiatric treatment. Our aim, thus, was to contribute to the literature by discussing psychiatric problems evolving after bariatric surgery and the rare adverse effect of fluoxetine.
