Abstract Introduction The prevalence and clinical significance of weight regain after bariatric surgery remains largely unclear due to the lack a standardized definition significant regain. development clinically relevant requires better understanding its significance. Objectives To assess rates 5 years Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) sleeve gastrectomy (SG), applying six definitions investigating their association with outcomes. Methods Patients were followed up until was calculated....
Background Weight loss trajectories after bariatric surgery vary widely between individuals, and predicting weight before the operation remains challenging. We aimed to develop a model using machine learning provide individual preoperative prediction of 5-year surgery. Methods In this multinational retrospective observational study we enrolled adult participants (aged $\ge$18 years) from ten prospective cohorts (including ABOS [NCT01129297], BAREVAL [NCT02310178], Swedish Obese Subjects...
Fat-free mass (FFM) loss is a concerning aspect of bariatric surgery, but little known about its time-course and factors related with excessive FFM loss. This study examined (i) the progress up to 3 years post-bariatric surgery (ii) prevalence determinants loss.A total 3596 patients (20% males, 43.5 ± 11.1 old, BMI = 44.2 5.5 kg/m2) underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed preoperatively 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24...
Large inter-individual variations in post-bariatric fat-free mass loss (FFML) are observed, which might relate to differences protein intake and physical activity across patients. We performed repetitive assessments of before after banded Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, examined its relations FFML during 6 months follow-up.FFML (bio-impedance analyses), (24-h dietary recalls) moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA; activPAL) were assessed 28 patients (4 males, age 42 ± 12 years) surgery at 1-, 3-...
Summary Quality of life is a key outcome that not rigorously measured in obesity treatment research due to the lack standardization patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) and PRO measures (PROMs). The S.Q.O.T. initiative was founded Standardize measurement Obesity Treatment. A first face‐to‐face, international, multidisciplinary consensus meeting conducted identify PROs preferred PROMs for research. It comprised 35 people living with (PLWO) healthcare providers (HCPs). Formal presentations,...
Insufficient weight loss and regain is seen in 20–30% of the post-bariatric population. More knowledge about effect physical activity eating style on change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass essential since behaviour can be modified thereby results improved. The goal this study to determine relationship between change, self-reported style. Weight, (PA) (ES) were assessed before surgery 15, 24, 36 48 months surgery. A linear mixed model was performed assess association PA ES percentage total (%...
Effect of bariatric surgery on health-related quality life (HRQOL) varies greatly. This might be caused by the diversity in questionnaires used to assess HRQOL and weight loss studied population. study assesses relationship between primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients using an obesity-specific (impact life-lite, IWQOL-lite) a generic (RAND-36) questionnaire.HRQOL parameters were assessed before 15 24 months after RYGB surgery. was IWQOL-lite (an questionnaire consisting one total...
Background: Body contouring surgery improves quality of life, weight loss, and body image after bariatric surgery. It is unclear why only a minority the post–bariatric population undergoes This study assesses overhanging skin, satisfaction, qualification for reimbursement in Dutch population. Methods: Post–bariatric patients were selected from prospective database. Electronic questionnaires evaluated demographics, desire surgery, excess satisfaction with their body. Results: A total 590...
BackgroundLittle research has taken individual variability in weight loss into account. Furthermore, physical activity (PA) and eating style (ES) have been linked only sporadically to longitudinally.ObjectivesIdentify describe latent classes of loss, change PA, ES up 5 years after surgery investigate whether these trajectories are interrelated.SettingMulticenter outpatient clinic.MethodsThis is a retrospective study data collected during standard treatment before surgery. Latent class growth...
Abstract Purpose Previous studies showed that patients with lower weight loss after bariatric surgery could be identified based on early postoperative loss. However, these had only 12–36-month follow-up. This study aimed to explore whether in the lowest quartile at 3 months trajectories up 5 years Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), banded (BRYGB), and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) surgery. Methods Weight was assessed preoperatively, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 postoperatively. Patients were grouped...
The focus of measuring success in obesity treatment is shifting from weight loss to patients' health and quality life. objective this study was select a core set patient-reported outcomes outcome measures be used clinical care.
Abstract Purpose The success of bariatric surgery varies largely, which may relate to variance in adopting a physically active lifestyle. This study aimed determine whether two-year changes physical activity (PA) were associated with weight loss, fat-free mass, cardiorespiratory fitness and quality life up two years after surgery. Materials Methods In this retrospective study, 3879 post-bariatric patients divided into three groups: 1) decreased PA ( n = 388), 2) maintained 2002) or 3)...
This study investigated a novel technique to improve body image among women who have undergone bariatric surgery—namely, by having them focus on their functionality (everything the can do, rather than how it looks). Participants were 103 (Mage = 46.61) had surgery 5–7 months prior study. They randomized 1-week online intervention, comprising three functionality-focused writing exercises (Expand Your Horizon; Alleva et al., 2015), or wait-list control group. Body appreciation, appearance and...
Abstract Purpose The RAND-36 is the most frequently used patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in bariatric surgery. However, has never been adequately validated purpose this study was validate Dutch patients undergoing Material and Methods To RAND-36, following measurement properties were assessed surgery patients: validity (the degree which measures what it purports (HRQoL)), reliability extent scores are same for repeated who have not...
Not all patients with suboptimal weight loss after bariatric surgery are willing to participate in postoperative behavioral intervention improve their loss. The objective of this study was explore barriers and facilitators participation intervention.Thirty semi-structured interviews were conducted (18), physicians (6), therapists (6) (i.e., psychologists, dieticians, or physiotherapists). A thematic analysis approach used.Emotional responses caused by confrontation hampered patients'...
Changes in healthcare utilisation and expenditures after bariatric-metabolic surgery (BMS) for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are unclear. We used the Dutch national all-payer claims database (APCD) to evaluate T2DM who underwent BMS.
