Eating behaviors and weight outcomes in bariatric surgery patients amidst COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent studies suggest that eating habits are an area particularly affected by the lockdown imposed by many countries to curb the COVID-19 epidemic. Individuals that received bariatric surgery may represent a particularly susceptible population to the adverse effects of lockdown for its potential impact on eating, psychological, and weight loss outcomes.

This study seeks to investigate the incremental impact of COVID-19 lockdown on treatment outcomes of postbariatric patients in the risk period for weight regain.

Setting

Main hospital center.

Methods

This work uses data from an ongoing longitudinal study of bariatric patients assessed before surgery (T₀), 1.5 years after sugery (T₁), and 3 years after surgery (T₂
