Abstract

Background While Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) appears to be the most effective procedure for weight loss in morbidly obese patients, objective outcome data regarding quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial status following surgery are lacking.Methods The present study examined the effects of RYGBP in 32 morbidly obese subjects on a variety of outcome measures including QoL and psychosocial functioning. Assessments were conducted before surgery, 1 to 3 weeks post-surgery, and at 6-month follow-up.Results In addition to weight loss, results show significant improvements in health-related QoL, depression, and self-esteem, as well as a significant reduction in eating pathology following surgery. Results also show that neither the presence of binge-eating disorder nor clinical depression predicted poorer outcome post-surgery.Conclusion RYGBP results in a dramatic reduction in weight, and marked improvements in health-related QoL, depression, self-esteem, and eating pathology, including binge-eating in the short term. These findings need to be replicated in a larger cohort of patients and followed for a longer time before we can reach more definitive conclusions regarding the psychosocial outcome in RYGBP.

  • Beyond 18 months after bariatric surgery, results on emotion-based eating are mixed, with some studies suggesting attenuation through 36 months and others finding reoccurrence between 12 and 36 months.

    “Results beyond the 18-month timeframe are mixed, with some studies suggesting attenuation of emotion-based eating through 36 months after having bariatric surgery and other studies finding reoccurrence between 12 and 36 months after having bariatric surgery (33–39).”

  • For bariatric surgery patients, emotion-based eating appears to reliably decrease in the first 18 months postoperatively.

    “For bariatric surgery patients specifically, emotion-based eating appears to reliably decrease in the first 18 months postoperatively (33, 34).”

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.
