Randomized Controlled Trial of Treatments for Loss-of-Control Eating Following Bariatric Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Loss-of-control (LOC) eating postoperatively is a consistent predictor of suboptimal longer-term bariatric surgery outcomes. This randomized controlled trial examined the effectiveness of two guided self-help treatments (cognitive behavioral therapy [gshCBT] and behavioral weight loss [gshBWL]) compared with a control (CON) for reducing LOC eating and weight.

Methods

A total of 140 patients with recurrent LOC eating approximately 6 months after bariatric surgery were randomly assigned (5:5:2 ratio) to one of three conditions: gshCBT (n  =  56), gshBWL (n  =  60), or CON (n  =  24). Three-month treatments were delivered by trained allied health clinicians to increase generalizability to bariatric surgery settings. Independent assessments were performed by doctoral r
