Association between Residual Psycho-Nutritional Difficulties and Percentage of Excess Weight Loss 2 Years after Bariatric Surgery: A Controlled Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Bariatric surgery is increasingly proposed for grade 2 or 3 obesity, yet the failure rate remains around 20-25%. The role of psychological and nutritional factors in this unfavorable outcome remains controversial. This study investigates whether the existence of residual psycho-nutritional difficulties after well-managed preoperative care is associated with reduced effectiveness of bariatric surgery.

Methods

Between 2017 and 2020, 57 patients with residual psycho-nutritional difficulties after multidisciplinary preparation for bariatric surgery were included in this observational study. These patients were matched with 57 controls without such difficulties, based on age, sex, history of bariatric surgery, type of bariatric surgery planned, and date of validation
