Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how psychiatric disorders (PD) and weight loss change over time after Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS), analyzing data from participants up to 9 years post-surgery.
- Conducted over nine years with 142 participants (mainly women), it found that mood and anxiety disorders increased by 32% after surgery, but the percentage of excess weight lost (%EWL) remained stable up to two years before declining slightly.
- Despite the prevalence of psychiatric disorders after MBS, these had no significant effect on the participants’ ability to maintain weight loss, highlighting the need for ongoing support for mental health in this population.
