“…Further, it may identify patients requiring more intensive preoperative therapy and closer postoperative follow-up in order to maximize their chance of success after bariatric surgery. Social support was once again found to be a critical factor in weight loss, consistent with previous research (26) and clinical observations. One mediating factor may well be that patients with sufficient social support are more likely to keep their clinic follow-up visits.…”

“…In 2016, Shanti et al. found that, after LSG, patients in the family group, in which patients had a family member who has undergone LSG, experienced significantly greater weight loss than the control group, while family members living together showed no advantage over those who lived separately [ 38 ]. This suggests that genetic factors may have a great influence on the outcomes of LSG.…”

Obesity has become a major global health problem, epitomized by excess accumulation of body fat resulting from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. The treatments for obesity range from modified nutrition and additional physical activity, to drugs or surgery. But the curative effect of each method seems to vary between individuals. With progress in the genetics and epigenetics of obesity, personalization of the clinical management of obesity may be at our doorstep. This review presents an overview of our current understanding of the genetics and epigenetics of obesity and how these findings influence responses to treatments. As bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term treatment for morbid obesity, we pay special attention to the association between genetic factors and clinical outcomes of bariatric surgery. Finally, we discuss the prospects for precision obesity treatment.

“…This could be done via provider ratings, such as with the Cleveland clinic behavioral rating system (CCBRS), 16,17 self-ratings such as with the Flanagan quality of life scale (FQoLS), 18 or by tapping objective variables including number of bariatric support groups attended 8 and if another family member has had bariatric surgery. 19 While the literature regarding social support's role in physical health in general continues to grow, there is still a paucity of research on the influence of social support after bariatric surgery. This is surprising, given that the need for support from family, friends, peers and bariatric healthcare providers was a prominent theme expressed by 119 bariatric surgery recipients.…”

SummarySocial support is important to optimize bariatric surgery outcomes, but limited tools exist for brief and effective assessment preoperatively. The aims of the study were to determine the extent to which two ratings of social support can predict bariatric surgery outcomes, and to examine any associations between these two methods.In this retrospective study, patients were included for whom the Cleveland clinic behavioral rating system (CCBRS) and Flanagan quality of life scale (FQoLS) scores were obtained as part of their preoperative psychosocial evaluation. They were followed up for 6 to 24 months after bariatric surgery. Linear and logistic regressions were performed with patients' CCBRS and FQoLS scores as independent variables, and percent excess weight loss (%EWL), length of stay (LOS), complications, readmissions and loss to follow‐up as dependent variables. The prediction of CCBRS ratings from FQoLS social support items was also evaluated. A total of 415 patients were included in the analysis. There were significant associations between the CCBRS and three of the four relevant FQoLS self‐ratings. As CCBRS and FQoLS scores increased, complications decreased significantly. The CCBRS alone additionally predicted decreased length of hospital stay and approached significance for predicting decreased readmission rates. There were no associations between %EWL and behavior ratings. The degree of patients' social support is associated with important bariatric surgery outcomes. It is possible to obtain this valuable information via the administration of brief assessments prior to bariatric surgery.
