Analysis of the Association between Eating Behaviors and Weight Loss after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Setting

In a private medical center, 300 patients who underwent a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) were classified into 4 groups according to their eating behaviors (EB) preoperatively. During a 3-year postoperative follow-up, dietary changes in relation to weight loss were studied.

Objectives

To explore the influence of abnormal EB on the outcome of sleeve gastrectomy.

Background

Patients with morbid obesity often suffer from abnormal EB. After LSG, the outcome depends largely on improvement of the feeding behaviors acquired.

Methods

This prospective study includes 300 patients who underwent LSG from 2013 to 2014, divided into the following 4 groups: binge eaters, snack eaters, sweet eaters, and volume eaters.

Results

The average age was 41.65 year
