Associations between Type of Bariatric Surgery and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, Employment Outcomes, and Body Image Satisfaction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Bariatric surgery has been shown to provide significant patient benefits in terms of weight loss and mitigation of obesity-linked comorbidities, as well as providing improvements in occupational productivity and patient quality of life. However, the choice of which bariatric surgery procedure provides the most patient benefit in each of these cases is still in question. In this review, we provide a systematic review, with the objective of evaluating associations between different bariatric surgery procedures and mitigation of obesity-linked comorbidities, improvement in occupational productivity, and patient quality of life, concentrating on three areas: obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), employment prospects, and body image.
