Obes Surg

August 2023

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery, St. Antonius Hospital, Koekoekslaan 1, 3435 CM, Nieuwegein, the Netherlands.

Purpose: As in nonsurgical weight loss populations, body image may partly explain differences in weight loss outcomes after surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the prospective association between body image and weight loss in a longitudinal cohort of patients up to 3 years after bariatric metabolic surgery.

Materials And Methods: The BODY-Q self-report questionnaire was used to assess body image.

Background: Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) is a key outcome of success after bariatric surgery. Not all patients report improved HRQL scores postoperatively, which may be due to patient-level factors. It is unknown which factors influence HRQL after surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • - In the Netherlands, patients seeking bariatric surgery must first complete a 6-month mandatory weight loss program (MWP), based on the belief that this leads to better outcomes.
  • - A study examined weight loss differences between two patient groups: those who completed the MWP before surgery (immediate group) and those who did not qualify until afterward (delayed group), finding the immediate group had a higher percentage of weight loss during the MWP.
  • - Ultimately, after analyzing data from over 2,600 patients, the study concluded that delaying qualification for surgery does not significantly affect weight loss three years post-surgery, suggesting that the MWP's impact on long-term outcomes may be minimal.

Introduction: Despite the high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, OSA is undiagnosed in the majority of patients and thus untreated. While untreated OSA is associated with an increased risk of preoperative and postoperative complications, no evidence-based guidelines on perioperative care for these patients are available. The aim of the POPCORN study (ost-perative ulse oximetry without OSA sreening vs perioperative continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment following SA sceeing by polygraphy (PG)) is to evaluate which perioperative strategy is the most cost-effective for obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery without a history of OSA.
