Eating disturbances before and after vertical banded gastroplasty: A pilot study

Gastric Bypass in a Low‐Income, Inner‐City Population: Eating Disturbances and Weight Loss

“…After surgery, frequent nocturnal eating episodes, which occurred in 55% of patients before surgery, persisted in 9% of patients, and frequency of these episodes was associated with greater final BMI and less satisfaction with surgery. Although it is not possible to determine the causal direction of these findings, they are consistent with previous research showing that remaining postsurgical eating disturbances are associated with poorer weight outcome (9,14).…”

“…Kalarchian et al (4) and Powers et al (8) have found no weight loss differences between patients with and without presurgical binge eating and associated eating pathology. However, weight regain is more likely among those patients whose eating disturbances have persisted at the time of follow‐up (9). Hsu and colleagues have reported that the presence of presurgical eating disturbances is most likely to predict weight outcome after 2 years postsurgery, once weight regain begins (6).…”

Binge Status and Quality of Life after Gastric Bypass Surgery: A One‐Year Study

“…An additional level of complexity exists in assessment of eating pattern disturbance in those individuals who have undergone bariatric procedures (25). Hsu et al (26) assessed eating disturbances before and after vertical banded gastroplasty using patient recall in a small retrospective cross‐ sectional study. Before surgery, 37.5% of patients fulfilled the DSM‐IV criteria for BED, and 20.8% fulfilled the criteria for bulimia nervosa.…”

Eating Disorders, Addictions and Substance Use Disorders

“…Eating disturbances in patients undergoing VBG (a practice no longer widely used in the USA) were studied by Hsu, Betancourt, and Sullivan (1996). They retrospectively analyzed the eating behavior of 24 female patients 3.5 years after surgery using the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE).…”
