Eating disturbances and outcome of gastric bypass surgery: a pilot study

Article Abstract:

The impact on the outcome of gastric bypass surgery (GBP) of the interaction between an individual's eating disturbance status prior to GBP and length of time since surgery is examined. Results revealed that both current eating disturbance status and weight regain were predicted by the interaction between presurgical eating disturbance status and length of time since surgery. This implies that patients with a presurgical eating disorder may experience a short-term improvement in their eating disorder after GBP. However, this improvement erodes on or after two years and is related to weight regain.
