Psychosocial and Behavioral Aspects of Bariatric Surgery
Authors:David B Sarwer  Thomas A Wadden  Anthony N Fabricatore
Abstract:Bariatric surgery has become an increasingly popular treatment option for individuals with extreme obesity (defined as a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) or those with less severe obesity accompanied by significant comorbidities. Sustained postoperative weight loss and improvements in obesity‐related health problems make bariatric surgery the most effective treatment for this population. Nevertheless, most experts agree that psychosocial and behavioral factors contribute to successful postoperative outcomes. This paper reviews the literature on the preoperative psychosocial status, eating behaviors, and quality of life of patients who seek bariatric surgery. In addition, the paper examines studies that investigated changes in these factors postoperatively. The review concludes with an agenda for future research in this area.
Keywords:bariatric surgery  extreme obesity  psychosocial status  eating behavior  quality of life
