Quality of life after gastric bypass surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes: patients' experiences during 2 years of follow-up. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on how gastric bypass surgery affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
  • Thirteen patients were evaluated using a health survey before surgery, and again at 6 months and 2 years post-surgery, showing significant improvements in areas like general health and emotional well-being over time.
  • The findings suggested that HRQoL improvements weren't directly tied to weight loss, but to a psychological adjustment where patients found a balance between their new body weight and self-confidence.

Article Abstract

Background: To examine the effects of gastric bypass surgery on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, and to investigate their experiences of life adjustments using quantitative and qualitative methods.

Methods: Thirteen patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity, (body mass index, BMI > 30 kg/m), participating in a randomized clinical trial, completed this sub-study. HRQoL was evaluated before, and at 6 months and 2 years after gastric bypass surgery, using the RAND- 36-item health survey. At 2 years, interviews for in-depth analysis of HRQoL changes were performed.

Results: Significant improvement was observed from baseline to 6 months for 2 of the eight health concepts, general health, and emotional well-being. At 2 years, improvements were also seen in physical functioning, energy/fatigue, as well as sustained improvements in general health and emotional well-being. Multiple regression analyses showed mostly non-significant associations between the magnitude of decrease in weight, BMI, and HbA1c during follow-up and improvement in HRQoL. The analyses from qualitative interviews supported a common latent theme "Finding a balance between the experience of the new body weight and self-confidence".

Conclusions: The improved HRQoL after gastric bypass surgery in obese patients with type 2 diabetes was not explained specifically by the magnitude of weight loss, but rather by the participants achieving a state of union between body and consciousness.
