Bariatric surgery-induced weight loss causes remission of food addiction in extreme obesity
Open accessAbstract
Objective: To test the hypotheses that bariatric surgery‐induced weight loss: induces remission of food addiction (FA), and normalizes other eating behaviors associated with FA. Methods: Forty‐four obese subjects (BMI= 48 ± 8 kg/m 2 ) were studied before and after ∼20% weight loss induced by bariatric surgery (25 Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass, 11 laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, and eight sleeve gastrectomy). We assessed: FA (Yale Food Addiction Scale), food cravings (Food Craving Inventory), and restrictive, emotional and external eating behaviors (Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire). Results: FA was identified in 32% of subjects before surgery. Compared with non‐FA subjects, those with FA craved foods more frequently, and had higher scores for emotional and external eating behaviors (all P ‐values <0.01; all Cohen's d >0.8). Surgery‐induced weight loss resulted in remission of FA in 93% of FA subjects; no new cases of FA developed after surgery. Surgery‐induced weight loss decreased food cravings, and emotional and external eating behaviors in both groups (all P ‐values < 0.001; all Cohen's d ≥ 0.8). Restrictive eating behavior did not change in non‐FA subjects but increased in FA subjects ( P < 0.01; Cohen's d>1.1). Conclusion: Bariatric surgery‐induced weight loss induces remission of FA and improves several eating behaviors that are associated with FA.

“Although patients endorse lower preferences for sweet foods in the initial two years after RYGB (Pepino et al., 2014a, b; Ullrich et al., 2013), weight recidivism later after RYGB is associated with increased urges to eat sweet foods, increased intake of sweet foods and increased total energy…”

“In line with this evidence, the reported frequency of cravings for sweets, scores in emotional eating, and prevalence of food addiction for the women in this study resemble more previous results obtained pre-surgery than those obtained 4–6 months post-surgery [12,13].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
