Purpose: This study investigated the associations of personality traits and preoperative lifestyle improvements with early weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study of 57 patients who underwent preoperative lifestyle intervention with a multidisciplinary team approach based on cognitive behavioral therapy before sleeve gastrectomy. All patients underwent preoperative psychological testing with the Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and the Tokyo University Egogram New Version II (TEG II). We investigated the associations of psychological testing results and lifestyle improvements with percent total weight loss (%TWL) one year after surgery.
Results: The median %TWL at 1 year was 38.2% for patients with an improved lifestyle and 26.9% for those without improvement (P = 0.0008). Although TEG II factors were not associated with %TWL at 1 year, higher NEO-FFI extraversion (E) scores were significantly associated with a better %TWL at 1 year. The median %TWL at 1 year was 35.2% for patients with higher E scores and 25.4% for those with lower E scores (P = 0.0247). Lifestyle improvement and the NEO-FFI E score significantly influenced %TWL at 1 year based on a logistic regression analysis.
Conclusion: The NEO-FFI E score and preoperative lifestyle improvement may be predictors of early weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy.
