“…This scale has received considerable support in its validity and reliability, including adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability (36,37). The BSQ, BDI, and RSES are widely used measures of body image dissatisfaction and general psychosocial functioning in diverse clinical samples of obese patients (38)(39)(40)(41)(42), including bariatric surgery patients (43)(44)(45)(46)(47), and have been found to be associated with eating-related pathology within this latter group (25,26,48,49). The EOQ was included as an additional exploratory measure since eating (or overeating) in response to emotions is not uncommon for individuals who struggle with their eating behavior.…”

Objective-Despite increasing use of the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in bariatric surgery patients, little is known about the utility and psychometric performance of this self-report measure in this clinical group. The primary purpose of the current study was to evaluate the factor structure and construct validity of the EDE-Q in a large series of bariatric surgery candidates.Methods and Procedures-Participants were 337 obese bariatric surgery candidates. Participants completed the EDE-Q and a battery of behavioral and psychological measures.Results-Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) produced a 12-item, 4-factor structure of the EDE-Q. The four factors, interpreted as Dietary Restraint, Eating Disturbance, Appearance Concerns, and Shape/Weight Overvaluation, were found to be internally consistent and converged with other relevant measures of psychopathology.Discussion-Factor analysis of the EDE-Q in bariatric surgery candidates did not replicate the original subscales but revealed an alternative factor structure. Future research must further evaluate the psychometric properties, including the factor structure, of the EDE-Q in this and other diverse populations and consider means of improving this measure's ability to best assess eatingrelated pathology in bariatric surgery patients.

“…Caloric intake often increases significantly during the postoperative course. 8,[14][15][16][17][18][19] In the Swedish Obese Subjects trial, 8 surgery patients consumed approximately 2900 kcal/ d prior to surgery. Their intake decreased to approximately 1500 kcal/d 6 months after surgery, but increased to approximately 2000 kcal/d 10 years later, when patients had regained approximately 10% of their maximum weight loss.…”

Background-Despite the significant weight losses and dramatic improvements in comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery, a significant minority of patients appear to experience suboptimal weight losses. The reasons for this are not well understood, but often attributed to preoperative psychosocial characteristics and/or eating behaviors as well as poor adherence to the recommended postoperative diet.

“…158,159 The prevalence of BED in severely obese adults reportedly ranges from 13 160 to 49%, 161 and is comparatively higher than BED rates in obese adolescents. Adults with BED seeking bariatric surgery report poorer quality of life 159 and greater psychological distress 162 than those without BED.…”

Bariatric surgery for pediatric extreme obesity: now or later?

2006

Obesity is a multifactorial disease of epidemic and global proportions that poses the most significant threat to the health of our younger generations. Those who are the most extremely affected bear the largest burden of health problems. In the US, extreme obesity affects approximately 9 million adults and 2 million children, and is associated with both immediate health problems and later health risk, including premature mortality. Present medical and behavioral interventions for extreme obesity in adults and children rarely result in the significant, durable weight loss necessary to improve health outcomes, prompting a search for more aggressive measures. Weight loss (bariatric) surgery has been advocated as an intervention for those with extreme obesity. In adults, bariatric surgery results in prolonged weight control and improvement in serious obesity comorbidities, namely type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemias, hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. A surge in weight loss operations for adolescents has been observed recently, with a threefold increase in case volumes nationwide from 2000 to 2003. Current evidence suggests that after bariatric surgery, adolescents lose significant weight and serious obesity-related medical conditions and psychosocial status are improved. Thus it is reasonable to propose that bariatric surgery performed in the adolescent period may be more effective treatment for childhood-onset extreme obesity than delaying surgery for extremely obese youth until adulthood. This position has been echoed by a number of groups and an independent systematic review. Finally, it is conceivable that bariatric surgery performed in adulthood for childhood onset extreme obesity may not be as effective for comorbidity treatment as surgery performed earlier during adolescence. The purpose of this review is to examine the evidence, which supports early rather than later use of bariatric surgery in the treatment of extreme obesity, and to present this information in light of the medical and surgical risks of bariatric surgery.
