“…Se ha descrito que los pacientes que participan en intervenciones grupales pierden mayor peso que quienes lo hacen de manera individual (Orth, Madan, Taddeucci, Coday y Tichansky, 2008). El presente estudio, por ser piloto, no cuenta con grupo de comparación, por lo que se sugiere incluirlo en otras investigaciones.…”

“…Diversos estudios (Buddeberg-Fischer, Klaghofer, Sigrist et al, 2004;Nicolai, Ippoliti, Petrelli, 2002;Hildebrant, 1998;Orth, Madan, Taddeucci, et al, 2008) indican que intervenciones tales como grupos psicoeducativos o de apoyo pueden mejorar los resultados de la cirugía bariátrica mediante la modificación conductual y ayudar a identificar aquellos pacientes que se encuentran en riesgo de desarrollar comorbilidades psiquiátricas.…”

ResumenLa obesidad es un problema de salud mundial asociado con el desarrollo de enfermedades crónico degenerativas. La cirugía bariátrica es el tratamiento que ha mostrado mayor efectividad para la obesidad severa; el paciente debe modificar su estilo de vida para mantener la pérdida de peso a largo plazo. Se ha visto que las intervenciones cognitivo conductuales han sido efectivas para lograr este cambio en el paciente. El presente estudio busca evaluar la efectividad de una intervención cognitivo conductual grupal en la pérdida de peso y calidad de vida antes de la cirugía. Se incluyeron nueve pacientes con obesidad mórbida candidatos a cirugía bariátrica sin comorbilidades psiquiátricas. Se realizó una evaluación inicial de calidad de vida que medía peso e IMC [Índice de Masa Corporal, por sus siglas en español]. Los pacientes fueron sometidos a una intervención grupal con el objetivo de promover la pérdida de peso mediante técnicas cognitivo conductuales. El promedio de pérdida de peso fue de 5.7 kg en las cinco semanas que duró el tratamiento, mostrando significancia estadística de .001; a su vez, con la pérdida de peso disminuyó el IMC con una significancia estadística de .002. En cuanto a calidad de vida, hubo mejoría significativa en la percepción corporal y en la actitud al tratamiento.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL GROUP INTERVENTION FOR WEIGHT LOSS AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS CANDIDATES FOR BARIATRIC SURGERY AbstractObesity is a global health problem associated with the development of chronic degenerative diseases. Bariatric surgery has proven to be the most effective treatment for severe obesity. Despite surgery, patients must change their lifestyle in order to maintain weight loss in the long term. It has been reported that cognitive behavioral interventions have been effective to promote a lifestyle change and weight loss in obese patients. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral group intervention on weight loss and quality of life before surgery. Participants were nine morbidly obese patients, without psychiatric comorbidities, candidates for bariatric surgery. An initial assessment of quality of life that measured weight and BMI [Body Mass Index, for its English acronym] was performed. Patients underwent a group intervention in order to promote weight loss through cognitive behavioral techniques. The average weight loss was 5.7 kg during the five weeks of treatment, showing statistical significance of .001. In turn, along with weight loss, there was a decrease in BMI, with a statistical significance of .002. Regarding quality of life, there was significant improvement in body perception and attitude toward treatment.

“…9 Although only a few studies have reported on WLS support groups, the findings suggest that individuals who attend regular monthly meetings gain emotional support to embrace new eating behaviors and dietary compliance. 9,46 In addition, Orth et al 46 observed that regular support group participation was associated with greater weight loss than those who did not attend a support group.…”

Background: Weight regain following gastric bypass (GB) surgery continues to plague many individuals across the United States. However, understanding long-term eating and exercise behaviors to promote and sustain a lower weight following GB surgery is limited. Method: The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions and attitudes of eating and exercise behaviors associated with weight maintenance in post-GB patients (n = 24) 2 or more years postsurgery. Demographic, anthropometric, and food record data were collected. Focus groups and personal interviews were used to understand behaviors and support systems associated with weight stabilization. Focus groups were audiotaped, transcribed, and organized into common themes. Results: All participants were female, with a mean of 6 years postsurgery, and had a mean age of 51.8 -10.5 years. The majority were married (71%) and had a college degree (58%). Although the average weight regain postsurgery was estimated at 16.2 -12.7 kg, most of the women (75%) had maintained a significant weight loss of at least 50% of their excess body weight. Themes associated with weight regain emerging from the focus groups included variable family support and a return to ''old eating habits.'' Conclusion: Focus group participants identified lack of long-term emotional support from family members and limited community support for weight loss surgery patients.

“…Both LAGB and RYGB patients have greater weight loss 6 months and 1 year postoperatively when attending a postoperative support group regularly, and the number of groups attended positively correlates with 1-year weight loss for LAGB patients. [45][46][47][48] Support groups assist with problem identification and solving, education, motivational enhancement, and provision of bariatric-specific support. Often, they can also include patients' support people.…”

In Brief Bariatric surgery has become a highly effective treatment intervention for morbidly obese patients struggling with comorbidities such as diabetes. Research has found that patients with certain psychosocial stressors may be at higher risk for postoperative complications, including weight regain. As a result, psychologists often play an integral role on an interdisciplinary bariatric team to aid with assessment and treatment of these patients by using empirically validated treatment recommendations to optimize outcomes.

Support Group Meeting Attendance is Associated with Better Weight Loss

Abstract: Patients in the ASGM group lose more weight than patients in the NASGM group. The importance of attending SGM should be incorporated in preoperative patient counseling and encouraged during postoperative follow-up visits.
