Abstract
Background Depression and chronic pain are two major chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCD). Considering the bidirectional relationship between obesity and CNCD, it is of the utmost importance to understand the effect of medications utilized to treat these diseases on body weight. Methods This is a clinical review on the effect of medications for depression and chronic pain on body weight. We searched PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases for studies on the topic from January 1, 1950 to April 1, 2022 in English language. Additionally, we present expert opinions in the fields of obesity, depression and chronic pain, providing a weight-centric approach to treat depression and chronic pain. Results Several antidepressant and chronic pain medications are associated with weight gain. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidases, mirtazapine and trazodone are common antidepressants that can increase body weight while bupropion is significantly associated with weight loss. Gabapentin and pregabalin are common chronic pain medications that are linked to weight gain. On the other hand, topiramate is associated with significant weight loss. Obesity, depression and chronic pain experts recommend avoiding medications that can increase body weight if another effective alternative is available. Conclusion By shifting prescribing practices toward a weight-conscious approach (i.e., switching from weight gain medications to weight loss/neutral), it is possible to mitigate the incidence of drug-induced weight gain.

Abstract
The number of people with obesity continues to increase. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity. However, this surgery also has disadvantages, such as an increased risk of excessive loss of fat-free mass, lean body mass, and muscle mass compared to other weight loss interventions. PubMed and Cochrane Library database including articles in English, Dutch, French, and German were used. From the 3609 retrieved references, 20 articles were selected. Compared with the control group, physical exercise improved body mass index (5 of 13 articles), weight loss (7 of 17 articles), functional capacity (2 of 5 articles), muscle strength (1 of 1 article), fat-free mass (3 of 5 articles), cardiorespiratory endurance (4 of 6 articles), and quality of life (2 of 4 articles) in obese patients undergoing BS. Current data is suggestive of positive effects of exercise on body mass index, weight loss, functional capacity, muscle strength, fat-free mass, cardiorespiratory endurance, and quality of life in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. However, our conclusions are limited because of the heterogeneity of programs and short studies. Further research is needed to determine the most effective physical exercise program in peri-bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and depression co-occur in a significant proportion of the population. Mechanisms linking the two disorders include the immune and the endocrine system, psychological and social mechanisms. The aim of this systematic review was to ascertain whether weight loss through dietary interventions has the additional effect of ameliorating depressive symptoms in obese patients. METHODS We systematically searched three databases (Pubmed, Medline, Embase) for longitudinal clinical trials testing a dietary intervention in people with obesity and depression or symptoms of depression. RESULTS Twenty-four longitudinal clinical studies met the eligibility criteria with a total of 3244 included patients. Seventeen studies examined the effects of calorie-restricted diets and eight studies examined dietary supplements (two studies examined both). Only three studies examined people with a diagnosis of both obesity and depression. The majority of studies showed that interventions using a calorie-restricted diet resulted in decreases in depression scores, with effect sizes between ≈0.2 and ≈0.6. The results were less clear for dietary supplements. CONCLUSIONS People with obesity and depression appear to be a specific subgroup of depressed patients in which calorie-restricted diets might constitute a promising personalized treatment approach. The reduction of depressive symptoms may be related to immunoendocrine and psychosocial mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The FUT2 gene (Se gene) encoding the enzyme α-1,2-L-fucosyltransferase 2 seems to have a significant effect on the number and type of bacteria colonizing the intestines. METHODS In a group of 19 patients after bariatric surgery, the polymorphism (rs601338) of FUT2 gene was analyzed in combination with body mass reduction, intestinal microbiome (16S RNA sequencing), and short chain fatty acids (SCFA) measurements in stools. RESULTS Among the secretors (Se/Se polymorphism of the FUT2 gene rs601338, carriers of GG variant), correlations between waist-hip ratio (WHR) and propionate content and an increase in Prevotella, Escherichia, Shigella, and Bacteroides were observed. On the other hand-in non-secretors (carriers of GA and AA variants)-higher abundance of Enterobacteriaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Clostridiales was recorded. CONCLUSIONS The increased concentrations of propionate observed among the GG variants of FUT 2 may be used as an additional source of energy for the patient and may have a higher risk of increasing the WHR than carriers of the other variants (GA and AA).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery can have several oral repercussions, including tooth erosion due to decreased salivary flow associated with the action of acidic pH and behavioral modifications in the diet that lead to the dissolution of mineralized dental tissues. OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether bariatric surgery presented a greater risk of dental erosion. SETTING Dentistry School, Pernambuco University, Camaragibe, Pernambuco, Brazil. METHODS This review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) and registered at the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews (CRD42019124960). A search was performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases using the following descriptors: "dental erosion OR tooth wear OR oral health OR dental wear OR tooth erosion OR salivary flow AND bariatric surgery OR gastrectomy OR obesity surgery". RESULTS The review included 553 articles (after exclusion of duplicates) submitted for title and abstract reading, of which 24 were selected for full text analysis. Five articles fulfilling the eligibility criteria were included in the qualitative and quantitative analysis review. Because of high heterogeneity of the studies, meta-analysis could not be performed. CONCLUSIONS Based on the review, we concluded that patients undergoing bariatric surgery had a higher incidence of dental erosion. All studies presented a high degree of dental erosion in patients submitted to bariatric surgery (P < .05).

Abstract
Severe obesity has many psychiatric consequences that can be influenced by bariatric surgery. The goal of this article is to review these challenges, including the mental health status of patients with severe obesity, the evaluation of surgical candidates, and the early and late effects of the operations, and to offer some recommendations to manage these challenges. The failure of the insurance-mandated preoperative psychosocial evaluation is also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is endorsed by multiple societies as the most effective treatment for obesity. Psychosocial functioning has also been noted to improve for most patients after bariatric surgery. However, some studies have shown an increase in post-operative suicide risk. The aim of this study was to review the published literature and evaluate the association of bariatric surgery with suicide events and suicide/self-harm attempts in patients who have undergone weight loss surgery. METHODS MEDLINE and Embase were searched from inception through January 2018 for retrospective or prospective studies reporting mortality outcomes and self-harm or suicide rates after bariatric procedures. The primary outcome was the pooled event rate with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for suicide. Secondary outcomes were suicide/self-harm attempts after bariatric surgery compared to same population prior to surgery and to matched control subjects, with the respective calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% CI. RESULTS From 227 citations, 32 studies with 148,643 subjects were eligible for inclusion. The patients were predominantly females (76.9%). Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) was the most commonly performed procedure (58.9%). The post-bariatric suicide event rate was 2.7/1000 patients (95% CI 0.0019-0.0038), while the suicide/self-harm attempt event rate was 17/1000 patients (95% CI 0.01-0.03). The self-harm/suicide attempt risk was higher after bariatric surgery within the same population with OR of 1.9 (95% CI 1.23-2.95), and compared to matched control subjects, OR 3.8 (95% CI, 2.19-6.59). CONCLUSIONS Post-bariatric surgery patients had higher self-harm/suicide attempt risk compared to age-, sex-, and BMI-matched controls. Various pre- and post-surgical psychosocial, pharmacokinetic, physiologic, and medical factors may be involved.

Abstract
Although bariatric surgery was developed primarily to treat morbid obesity, evidence from the earliest clinical observations to the most recent clinical trials consistently demonstrates that these procedures have substantial effects on glucose metabolism. A large base of research indicates that bariatric surgeries such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) improve diabetes in most patients, with effects frequently evident prior to substantial weight reduction. There is now unequivocal evidence from randomized controlled trials that the efficacy of surgery is superior to intensive life-style/medical management. Despite advances in the clinical understanding and application of bariatric surgery, there remains only limited knowledge of the mechanisms by which these procedures confer such large changes to metabolic physiology. The improvement of insulin sensitivity that occurs with weight loss (e.g., the result of diet, illness, physical training) also accompanies bariatric surgery. However, there is evidence to support specific effects of surgery on insulin clearance, hepatic glucose production, and islet function. Understanding the mechanisms by which surgery affects these parameters of glucose regulation has the potential to identify new targets for therapeutic discovery. Studies to distinguish among bariatric surgeries on key parameters of glucose metabolism are limited but would be of considerable value to assist clinicians in selecting specific procedures and investigators in delineating the resulting physiology. This review is based on literature related to factors governing glucose metabolism and insulin secretion after the commonly used RYGB and VSG, and the less frequently used BPD and adjustable gastric banding.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the influence of bariatric surgery on the clinical periodontal conditions in patients with obesity. This review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and registered at the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews (CRD42018099313). A search was conducted by 2 investigators in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for relevant articles published up to May 2018. The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective studies, observational studies, longitudinal studies, and cohort studies with at least 3 months of follow-up. No language restrictions were imposed. The exclusion criteria were studies that did not evaluate or report the periodontal measurements, cross-sectional studies (without follow-up after surgery), studies that performed periodontal treatment, and those with insufficient periodontal data. The meta-analysis was based on the Mantel-Haenszel method and inverse variance. The quantitative analysis revealed no statistically significant differences with regard to bleeding on probing (P = .9; mean deviation: -.70; confidence interval = -11.43 to 10.04) or probing pocket depth (P = .41; mean deviation: -.46; confidence interval = -1.55 to .63) before and after intervention. Clinical attachment loss showed a statistically significant difference (P = .0002; mean deviation: .18; confidence interval = .07-.30). It can be concluded that bariatric surgery does not influence bleeding on probing or probing pocket depth, but leads to a worsening of clinical attachment loss.

Abstract
Resumo A obesidade tem atingido níveis epidêmicos na atualidade e constitui problema de saúde pública. Apesar de ela tradicionalmente ser tratada por meio da reeducação alimentar e da prática de atividade física, nem sempre estas medidas são eficazes para o tratamento da obesidade mórbida. Neste contexto, a cirurgia bariátrica emerge como um dos principais tratamentos que a medicina oferece atualmente para a perda de peso substancial. No entanto, estima-se que ela seja eficaz em 85% dos casos, pois há aqueles em que os pacientes acabam por recuperar parte do peso perdido e desenvolvem transtornos alimentares ou diversos comportamentos compulsivos. O presente artigo tem por objetivo compreender o sofrimento psíquico subjacente à obesidade, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica de conceitos psicanalíticos freudianos que operacionalizam uma compreensão da dinâmica do funcionamento do aparelho psíquico, com ênfase nos conceitos de pulsão de morte, narcisismo e melancolia. A partir da análise do “Complexo da mãe morta”, de André Green, sustentamos a hipótese de que algumas obesidades seriam consequência de uma tentativa de superação de uma dor melancólica, um luto que não pode ser elaborado, relacionado a uma perda narcísica.

Abstract
The global epidemic of obesity and its related disease in combination with robust physiological defence of intentional weight loss generates a pressing need for effective weight loss therapies. Bariatric surgery, which works very effectively at delivering substantial sustained weight loss, has been an enigma with respect to mechanism of action. Naive concepts of restriction and malabsorption do not explain the efficacy of the most commonly used bariatric procedures. This century has seen increased interest in unravelling the mystery of the mechanisms underlying surgery associated weight loss with a focus on integrative gastrointestinal (GI) physiology, gut-brain signalling, and beyond weight loss effects on metabolism. GI interventions, some very minor, can alter GI wall stretch and pressure receptors; a range of GI hormones affecting hunger and satiety; bile acid metabolism and signalling; the characteristics of GI microbiome; portal vein nutrient sensing; and circulating concentrations of amino acids. Understanding the mechanisms involved should present targets for less invasive effective therapies.

This pivotal study was designed to support LBS application to the US Food and Drug Administration for broadening the indications for surgery and the lower BMI indication was approved with 1-year data in 2011, with the intention to complete the 5-year evaluation. OBJECTIVES To present broad health outcome data including weight change, patient reported outcomes, comorbidity change and complications during the 5-year study. SETTING The study was conducted at seven US private practice clinical trial sites. METHODS We enrolled 149 BMI 30-39.9 subjects into a 5-year, multicenter, longitudinal, prospective post-approval study. Data for those completing each time point are presented. RESULTS The predefined target of at least 30% excess weight loss was achieved by more than 76% of subjects by 1-year and at every year thereafter during the 5-year study. Mean percentage weight loss at 5 years was 15.9±12.4%. Sustained weight loss was accompanied by sustained improvement in generic and weight-specific quality of life, symptoms of depression and the prevalence of binge-eating disorder. The number of subjects with normal fasting triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, plasma glucose and HbA1c increased significantly between baseline and 5 years. Fifty-four months after LBS implantation, the rate of device explants without replacement was 5.4%; however, the rate of explants increased to 12.1% by month 60 owing to no cost-elective band removals offered to subjects at study exit. No deaths or unanticipated adverse device effects were reported. CONCLUSIONS The LBS is safe and effective for people with BMI 30-39.9 with demonstrated improvements in weight loss, comorbidities and quality of life, and with a low explant rate through 5 years following treatment.

Abstract
This study aims to review the obesity literature in order to assess the impact of bariatric surgery on quality of life and the between-study variation by examining the standardized mean magnitude of effect in change in the levels of quality of life. The following databases EMBASE, PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science were systematically searched for studies examining change in quality of life in adults receiving bariatric surgery for obesity. Seventy-two studies were included with a total of 9,433 participants treated for obesity with bariatric surgery. The average impact of bariatric surgery on quality of life corresponded to an effect size of 0.88 (95% CI: 0.80-0.96), indicating that bariatric surgery has a significant positive influence on quality of life in general. The impact varied considerably across studies with bariatric surgery showing a significantly greater positive influence on physical quality of life compared to mental quality of life. Bariatric surgery is effective in improving quality of life, especially when looking at physical well-being. Greater focus on the psychological well-being of the person undergoing surgery for obesity may lead to a better post-surgery prognosis for more people.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE The present study evaluated the mental health and psychological functioning of bariatric patients before surgery, and after 1 year and 10 year follow-ups, and compared them with participants in a dietary program. Such long follow-up is rare, but strongly recommended by the American Association of Bariatric Surgeons. SUBJECTS/METHODS Thirty-six bariatric surgery patients and 34 participants of a weight loss program were weighed and assessed at all 3 points in time. Participants were administered the mental health inventory, neuroticism, sense of control and fear of intimacy scales. Along with these mental and psychological measurements, the medical outcome short form (SF-36) was used. RESULTS The surgery group achieved successful weight loss outcomes (27% reduction of pre-operative weight) after 10 years and better than baseline health-related quality-of-life scores. However, their general mental health, neuroticism, sense of control and fear of intimacy scores showed significant deterioration in comparison to pre-operative levels after 10 years. The dietary group participants remained psychologically stable among all three points in time. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the importance of identifying a risk group among bariatric patients for which the dietary and psychological follow-up may be of special significance.

Abstract
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Long-term effects of adjustable gastric banding (AGB) on quality of life (QoL) in a morbidly obese population were investigated in a cross-sectional study. Additionally, determinants of QoL after AGB were assessed. METHODS All patients treated by AGB for morbid obesity in a Dutch hospital were invited to complete the RAND 36-Item Health Survey. Of 121 participating patients 59 met the criteria for long-term follow-up (>5 years): 4 male and 55 female, mean age 42.4 ± 9.7 years, mean body mass index (BMI) before surgery 44.9 ± 5.9 kg/m(2). Time since surgery was 74.7 months (range 60-107.6). The control group consisted of 28 presurgical patients. General and obesity-related parameters were assessed for correlation with QoL. RESULTS Significant differences between the preoperative group and Dutch community norm (CN) values were found on five out of eight QoL subscales, in favor of CN. AGB induced significant weight loss in the postoperative group: 56.1% excess weight loss (%EWL). This group scored significantly better than the preoperative group on one out of eight subscales: physical functioning (P = 0.019). Additionally, scores on four out of eight subscales were still significantly impaired compared to CN. Postoperative BMI and %EWL influenced QoL after long-term follow-up, whereas weight regain had no negative impact. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that after long-term follow-up subjects treated by gastric banding to induce weight loss have a slightly better QoL than those who did not undergo surgery yet. QoL remains impaired in comparison to the general population. After long-term follow-up BMI and weight loss do influence QoL whereas weight regain does not have any negative impact.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is increasingly being used to treat severe obesity, but little is known about its impact on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). For PRO data to influence practice, well-designed and reported studies are required. A systematic review identified prospective bariatric surgery studies that used validated PRO measures. Risk of bias in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed, and papers were examined for reporting of (i) who completed PRO measures; (ii) missing PRO data and (iii) clinical interpretation of PRO data. Studies meeting all criteria were classified as robust. Eighty-six studies were identified. Of the eight RCTs, risk of bias was high in one and unclear in seven. Sixty-eight different PRO measures were identified, with the Short Form (SF)-36 questionnaire most commonly used. Forty-one (48%) studies explicitly stated measures were completed by patients, 63 (73%) documented missing PRO data and 50 (58%) interpreted PRO data clinically. Twenty-six (30%) met all criteria. Although many bariatric surgery studies assess PROs, study design and reporting is often poor, limiting data interpretation and synthesis. Well-designed studies that include agreed PRO measures are needed with reporting to include integration with clinical outcomes to inform practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a growing research literature suggesting that there may be elevated risk of suicide following bariatric surgery. Most of the data reported thus far has been cross-sectional and observational, and very little is known about the possible specific causal variables involved. DESIGN AND METHODS The purpose of this report is to review this literature and to review possible risk factors for increased suicidal risk following bariatric surgery, to delineate future research directions. RESULTS First a variety of medical, biological, and genetic factors, including the persistence or recurrence of medical comorbidities after bariatric surgery, the disinhibition and impulsivity secondary to changes in the absorption of alcohol, hypoglycemia, as well as pharmacokinetic changes that may affect the absorption of various medications including antidepressant medications are reviewed. Also reviewed are possible mediating factors involving changes in various peptidergic systems such as GLP-1 and Ghrelin. A number of psychosocial issues that might be involved are discussed, including lack of improvement in quality of life after surgery, continued or recurrent physical mobility restrictions, persistence or recurrence of sexual dysfunction and relationship problems, low self-esteem, and a history of child maltreatment. Inadequate weight loss or weight regain are also discussed. CONCLUSIONS A number of possible contributing factors have been identified. Possible theoretical models involved and directions for research are suggested.

Potential mechanisms by which bariatric surgery improves systemic metabolism. Transl Res 2013; 161:63-72.

Abstract
Over the past several decades, excessive body weight has become a major health concern. As the obesity epidemic continues to expand, metabolic disorders associated with excess body weight, including type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, have exponentially increased. Dysregulation of satiety hormones and factors that regulate long-term energy storage can disrupt normal metabolic functions and lead to excess body fat. While diet and exercise seem to provide a logical means for weight loss, an unhealthy lifestyle coupled to responses initiated by perceived energy deficit impede sustained long term weight loss. Furthermore, because of the additional lack of effective pharmaceutical interventions to treat excess body weight, patients with severe obesity resort to bariatric surgery as an effective alternative for treatment of obesity and resolution of its associated comorbidities. Interestingly, the precise method by which bariatric surgery promotes rapid improvement in systemic metabolism and long-term weight loss remains incompletely understood and may vary between procedures. Multiple mechanisms likely contribute to the improved glucose metabolism seen after bariatric surgery, including caloric restriction, changes in the enteroinsular axis, alterations in the adipoinsular axis, release of nutrient-stimulated hormones from endocrine organs, stimulation from the nervous system, and psychosocial aspects including a dramatic improvement in quality of life. The current review will highlight the potential contribution of these responses to the improvement in systemic energy metabolism elicited by bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for patients with severe obesity, producing improvements in many comorbid conditions, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and dyslipidemia. The loss of body weight and resolution of comorbidities have been more recently found to be the result of functional and metabolic changes produced by the surgical procedures. Nonetheless, bariatric surgery is still considered to be a tool that is supported by health behaviors characteristic of all weight loss programs—that is, adoption of healthy eating patterns, engagement in robust physical activity, and implementation of constructive coping strategies. In addition, patients who undergo bariatric surgery face challenges that are particular to this population, including adjustment to rapid and significant reduction in body weight, forced alterations in eating behavior, and risk of alcohol misuse. This state-of-the-art review focuses on the research and resultant recommendations regarding lifestyle management for patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Obesity is characterized by the accumulation of excess body fat and can be conceptualized as the physical manifestation of chronic energy excess. An important challenge of today's world is that our so-called obesogenic environment is conducive to the consumption of energy and unfavourable to the expenditure of energy. The modern, computer-dependent, sleep-deprived, physically inactive humans live chronically stressed in a society of food abundance. From a physiological standpoint, the excess weight gain observed in prone individuals is perceived as a normal consequence to a changed environment rather than a pathological process. In other words, weight gain is a sign of our contemporary way of living or a 'collateral damage' in the physiological struggle against modernity. Additionally, substantial body fat loss can complicate appetite control, decrease energy expenditure to a greater extent than predicted, increase the proneness to hypoglycaemia and its related risk towards depressive symptoms, increase the plasma and tissue levels of persistent organic pollutants that promote hormone disruption and metabolic complications, all of which are adaptations that can increase the risk of weight regain. In contrast, body fat gain generally provides the opposite adaptations, emphasizing that obesity may realistically be perceived as an a priori biological adaptation for most individuals. Accordingly, prevention and treatment strategies for obesity should ideally target the main drivers or root causes of body fat gain in order to be able to improve the health of the population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In addition to actual weight loss and the possible resolution of obesity-related co-morbidities following bariatric surgery, another widely recognized important outcome measure is the improvement of quality of life (QOL). METHODS Disease-specific quality of life (DSQOL) and general health-related quality of life (HRQOL) were measured preoperatively and at 1 and 5 years postoperatively following laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) for morbid obesity. The Moorehead-Ardelt questionnaire was used for DSQOL assessments and a generic 15-dimensional questionnaire (15D) was used for HRQOL measurements. In addition, HRQOL was compared with that of the age- and gender-standardized general population. RESULTS DSQOL scores were significantly improved on all domains after 1 year from the operation and this improvement was maintained at 5 years. This improvement was also seen in the total HRQOL scores. Despite this improvement, the HRQOL after LAGB remained worse compared to the age- and gender-standardized general population. CONCLUSIONS DSQOL and HRQOL improve both significantly after LAGB. This QOL improvement is maintained at 5-year follow-up although QOL does not reach the level of the general population.

Abstract
Quality of life improves after bariatric surgery. However, long-term results and the influence of reoperations are not well known. A prospective quality of life assessment before, 1 and 7 years after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) was performed in order to determine the influence of reoperations during follow-up. One hundred patients were included in the study. Fifty patients underwent VBG and 50 LAGB. Patients completed the quality of life questionnaires prior to surgery and two times during follow-up. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires included the Nottingham Health Profile I and II and the Sickness Impact Profile 68. Follow-up was 84% with a mean duration of 84 months (7 years). During follow-up, 65% of VBG patients underwent conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass while 44% of LAGB patients underwent a reoperation or conversion. One year after the procedure, nearly all quality-of-life parameters significantly improved. After 7 years, the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)-I domain “physical ability”, the NHP-II and the SIP-68 domains “mobility control”, “social behavior”, and “mobility range” were still significantly improved in both groups. The domains “emotional reaction”, “social isolation” (NHP-I), and “emotional stability” (SIP-68) remained significantly improved in the VBG group while this was true for the domain “energy level” (NHP-I) in the LAGB group. Both the type of procedure and reoperations during follow-up were not of significant influence on the HRQoL results. Weight loss and decrease in comorbidities were the only significant factors influencing quality of life. Restrictive bariatric surgery improves quality of life. Although results are most impressive 1 year after surgery, the improvement remains significant after long-term follow-up. Postoperative quality of life is mainly dependent on weight loss and decrease in comorbidities and not on the type of procedure or surgical complications.

Abstract
There is little evidence that public health measures adopted so far have had any impact on the rise in the prevalence of obesity. Weight-loss programs have a very high long-term failure rate. There is emerging evidence that weight is regulated by the hypothalamus and is physiologically defended. There is also a strong genetic predisposition to the development of obesity. The availability and promotion of high-energy foods and the absence of any obligatory need for physical activity compound the problem, but this social change is not easily reversible. One way forward is to focus public health measures on preventing obesity in children while making resources available to treat people who are already obese, including providing funding for bariatric surgery in public hospitals.

Abstract
Weight regain is a problem among many bariatric surgery patients. Whether a high-volume exercise program (HVEP), a strategy to limit weight regain, is feasible in these patients is unknown. The feasibility of an HVEP in obese post-bariatric-surgery patients was determined by randomizing 33 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and gastric banding (GB) surgery patients with a mean BMI of 41 ± 6 kg/m2 to an HVEP or control group for 12 weeks. The HVEP group was instructed to expend ≥ 2,000 kcal/week in moderate-intensity exercise. All patients were counseled to limit energy intake. Treatment effect was assessed by repeated measures analysis. During the last 4 weeks of the study, 53% of the HVEP group expended ≥ 2,000 kcal/week and 82% expended ≥ 1,500 kcal/week. Step count, reported time spent and energy expended during moderate physical activity, maximal oxygen consumption relative to weight, and incremental area under the postprandial blood glucose curve were significantly improved over 12 weeks in the HVEP group compared to controls (group-by-week effect: P = 0.009-0.03). Both groups reported significant improvement in some quality-of-life scales. Changes in weight, energy and macronutrient intake, resting energy expenditure (REE), fasting lipids and glucose, and fasting and postprandial insulin concentrations were not different between the two groups. HVEP is feasible in about 50% of the patients and enhances physical fitness and reduces postprandial blood glucose in bariatric surgery patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe obesity remains the leading public health crisis of the industrialized world, with bariatric surgery the only effective and enduring treatment. Poor psychological adjustment has been occasionally reported postoperatively. In addition, evidence suggests that patients can metabolize alcohol differently after gastric bypass. STUDY DESIGN Preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, 19 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients' breath alcohol content (BAC) was measured every 5 minutes after drinking 5 oz red wine to determine peak BAC and time until sober in a case-crossover design preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS Patients reported symptoms experienced when intoxicated and answered a questionnaire of drinking habits. The peak BAC in patients after RYGB was considerably higher at 3 months (0.059%) and 6 months (0.088%) postoperatively than matched preoperative levels (0.024%). Patients also took considerably more time to return to sober at 3 months (61 minutes) and 6 months (88 minutes) than preoperatively (49 minutes). Postoperative intoxication was associated with lower levels of diaphoresis, flushing, and hyperactivity and higher levels of dizziness, warmth, and double vision. Postoperative patients reported drinking considerably less alcohol, fewer preferred beer, and more preferred wine than before surgery. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to match preoperative and postoperative alcohol metabolism in gastric bypass patients. Post-RYGB patients have much higher peak BAC after ingesting alcohol and require more time to become sober. Patients who drink alcohol after gastric bypass surgery should exercise caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery leads to profound weight loss, but postoperative complications and psychosocial issues may impact long-term quality of life. The primary aim of this project was to examine whether such patients have better quality of life and self-reported functional status compared with obese adults who do not have bariatric surgery. METHODS This population-based study of patients evaluated for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery involved a survey consisting of baseline and follow-up single-item overall quality-of-life items (Linear Analogue Self-Assessment Questionnaire; LASA), follow-up quality of life (Short-Form-12), and activity (Goldman's Specific Activity Scale). A total of 268 and 273 surveys were mailed, with 148 (55.2%) operative and 88 (32.2%) nonoperative survey responders assessed, respectively. Linear regression was used, adjusting for changes in co-morbidity and functional status, to assess the differences in quality of life and activity level. Individual predictors of higher or better quality-of-life scores also were assessed. RESULTS There were no major differences in baseline characteristics between survey responders and nonresponders. Mean follow-up was 4.0 and 3.8 years in the operative and nonoperative groups, respectively. The change in overall LASA from baseline to follow-up between groups was 3.1 + or - 0.4 (P <.001). The adjusted Short-Form-12 score was 14.4 points higher in operative patients (P <.001) at follow-up. Operative patients had symptomatic improvement as measured by Specific Activity Scale status (odds ratio 7.5, P <.001) and self-reported exercise tolerance (odds ratio 2.61, P = .01) at follow-up compared with nonoperative patients. Predictors of a high follow-up LASA (P <.05) included initial treatment for depression, percent of weight lost, and absence of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease. Follow-up Short-Form-12 predictors included percent of weight loss, absence of baseline diabetes, baseline depression treatment, and follow-up cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS Profound weight loss after bariatric surgery, seeking treatment for depression, and absence of medical co-morbidities appears to predict better quality of life and self-reported functional status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Massive weight loss following bariatric surgery may lead to an excess of lax, overstretched skin, causing physical discomfort which may affect the patient's quality of life. Whereas the functional and aesthetic deformity is an expected result of massive weight loss, the role of the plastic surgeon in the multidisciplinary approach of the morbidly obese is still unclear. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the results of reconstructive surgery following weight loss surgery, focusing on the impact on the physical and psycho-social well-being and quality of life of the patients. METHODS Out of a group of 465 patients, 61 patients underwent reconstructive surgery following weight loss surgery. In 43 respondents, the quality of life after reconstructive surgery was measured by the Obesity Psychological State Questionnaire. Patient satisfaction was evaluated. RESULTS Reconstructive surgery resulted in a significant improvement in quality of life in patients at a mean interval of 42 months between weight loss and reconstructive surgery. The most frequent procedures were abdominoplasty and breast reconstruction. The relative high complication rate of 27.9% was of no influence on quality of life and the majority of the patients (67%) were satisfied with reconstructive surgery. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that reconstructive surgery following weight loss after bariatric surgery results in a significant improvement in overall quality of life. Reconstructive surgery should be incorporated in the multidisciplinary care programme following weight loss surgery in the morbidly obese patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) restricts food intake. Consequently, patients consume less calcium. In addition, food no longer passes through the duodenum, the main site of calcium absorption. Therefore, calcium absorption is significantly impaired. The goal of this study is to compare two common calcium supplements in gastric bypass patients. METHOD Nineteen patients were enrolled in a randomized, double-blinded, crossover study comparing the absorption of calcium from calcium carbonate and calcium citrate salts. Serum and urine calcium levels were assessed for peak values (C (max)) and cumulative calcium increment (area under the curve [AUC]). Serum PTH was assessed for minimum values (PTH(min)) and cumulative PTH decrement (AUC). Statistical analysis was performed using a repeated analysis of variance model. RESULTS Eighteen subjects completed the study. Calcium citrate resulted in a significantly higher serum C (max) (9.4 + 0.4 mg/dl vs. 9.2 + 0.3 mg/dl, p = 0.02) and serum AUC (55 + 2 mg/dl vs. 54 + 2 mg/dl, p = 0.02). Calcium citrate resulted in a significantly lower PTH(min) (24 + 11 pg/ml vs. 30 + 13 pg/ml, p = 0.01) and a higher AUC (-32 + 51 pg/ml vs. -3 + 56 pg/ml, p = 0.04). There was a non-significant trend for higher urinary AUC in the calcium citrate group (76.13 + 36.39 mg/6 h vs. 66.04 + 40.82, p = 0.17). CONCLUSION Calcium citrate has superior bioavailability than calcium carbonate in RYGB patients.

Abstract
Higher BMI has been associated with a lower risk of suicide in large prospective studies, but the mechanisms for this link require elucidation. In the 2002 and 2004 iterations of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a large, population-based telephone survey of US adults conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, participants reported their height, weight, and several potential risk factors for suicide, including alcohol use, mental health, marital status, firearm ownership, and risk-taking behaviors. We assessed whether BMI was associated with these risk factors among 224,247 eligible respondents in 2002 and 275,194 in 2004 after sample-weighted adjustment for age, race, region, smoking, and education. Alcohol-related risk factors tended to be lower with heavier BMI among women, while firearm-related risk factors tended to be higher with heavier BMI among men. Heavier BMI also tended to be associated with unmarried status and poor mental health, especially among women, and with infrequent seat belt use in men and women. No potential risk factors were consistently inversely associated with BMI in both sexes and years. In summary, in these samples of the US population, conventional risk factors for suicide were inconsistently associated with BMI, making them unlikely mediators for the observed relationship of BMI with lower risk of suicide. In some cases, risk factors were actually greater with heavier BMI. Further study of the relationship of BMI and suicide may yield novel modifiable risk factors that could cause or prevent this important cause of death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term outcomes of gastric banding regarding depression and predictors of change in depression are still unclear. This prospective, controlled study investigated depression and self-acceptance in morbidly obese patients before and after gastric banding. METHODS A total of 248 morbidly obese patients (mean body mass index [BMI] = 46.4, SD = 6.9) seeking gastric banding completed questionnaires for symptoms of depression (Beck Depression Inventory) and self-acceptance. One hundred twenty-eight patients were treated with gastric banding and 120 patients were not. After 5 to 7 years, patients who either had (n = 40) or had not (n = 42) received gastric banding were reassessed. RESULTS In the preoperative assessment, 35% of all obese patients suffered from clinically relevant depressive symptoms (BDI score > or =18). The mean depression score was higher and the mean self-acceptance score was lower than those of the normal population. Higher preoperative depression scores were observed among patients living alone and who had obtained low levels of education. After 5 to 7 years, patients with gastric banding had lost significantly more weight than patients without gastric banding (mean BMI loss 10.0 vs. 3.3). Gastric banding patients improved significantly in depression and self-acceptance, whereas no change was found in patients without gastric banding. Symptoms of depression were more reduced in patients who lost more weight, lived together with a partner, and had a high preoperative depression score. CONCLUSION Morbid obesity is associated with depressive symptoms and low self-acceptance. Gastric banding results in both long-term weight loss and improvement in depression and self-acceptance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Morbid obesity is the leading public health crisis in the United States, with bariatric surgery as the only effective and enduring treatment for this disease. a concern has been raised, that, postoperatively, alcohol metabolism might be altered in gastric bypass patients. We hypothesized that alcohol metabolism in the postoperative gastric bypass patient would be altered. METHODS Of 36 subjects, 17 control and 19 postgastric bypass subjects each consumed 5 oz of red wine. They underwent an alcohol breath analysis every 5 minutes. The outcomes recorded included symptoms, initial peak alcohol breath level, and the time for alcohol breath levels to normalize. RESULTS The gastric bypass group was on average 10 years older and had a greater weight and body mass index than the control group. The average time after gastric bypass was 2 years, with an average body mass index loss of 18 kg/m(2) (51 kg/m(2) before versus 33 kg/m(2) after). The gastric bypass patients had a peak alcohol breath level of 0.08% and the controls had a level of 0.05%. The gastric bypass group needed, on average, 108 minutes to reach an alcohol breath level of 0; the control group reached this level after an average of 72 minutes. Both groups showed a similar postingestion symptom profile. CONCLUSION In this study, alcohol metabolism was significantly different between the postgastric bypass and control subjects. Although the gastric bypass patients' had a greater peak alcohol level and a longer time for the alcohol level to reach 0 than the controls, the gastric bypass group did not experience more symptoms than the control group. These findings provide caution regarding alcohol use by gastric bypass patients.

Abstract
As bariatric surgery for extreme obesity continues to grow in popularity, so does interest in postbariatric surgery body-contouring surgery. There is an extensive literature on the psychological characteristics of persons with extreme obesity who undergo bariatric surgery and the psychological changes that typically occur postoperatively. Far less, however, is known about the psychological aspects of body contouring following massive weight loss. This article reviews the psychosocial characteristics of individuals with extreme obesity who undergo bariatric surgery, as well as the changes in these traits that typically occur postoperatively. Because there have been few studies of the psychological aspects of patients who have lost massive amounts of weight, we use related literatures on the relationship between body image dissatisfaction and other plastic surgical procedures to identify the most relevant research and clinical issues for this unique patient population. Appropriate psychiatric screening and management of these patients is believed to play an important role in successful postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative psychosocial evaluations of bariatric surgery candidates primarily focus on screening for psychiatric co-morbidities. However, the role of weight loss expectations and knowledge about surgery can also influence patients' postoperative behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate preoperative patient knowledge and expectations about postoperative weight loss. METHODS Data on the knowledge and expectations were extracted from a database of psychosocial evaluations of 334 bariatric surgery candidates. Expectations were measured by patient report of the expected pounds to be lost. Knowledge was operationalized using the University of Virginia Bariatric Knowledge Scale, a 22-item multiple choice scale, that assesses knowledge about medical, nutritional, and psychosocial components related to bariatric surgery. The data were analyzed using frequencies, descriptive statistics, and analysis of variance. RESULTS The data on weight loss expectations from 217 preoperative patients indicated that, compared with the average weight loss data presented in published reports, 65% of patients overestimated the degree of weight loss and only 25% of patients maintained accurate expectations of weight loss. Knowledge data on the nutritional, medical, and behavioral components of the surgery were available for 96 patients. The items frequently answered incorrectly included expected weight loss and the utility of surgery in increasing the ability to make changes in diet and exercise. The mean body mass index differences were observed to determine the accuracy of weight loss expectations CONCLUSION The results of our study have shown that a significant number of bariatric surgery patients present with misconceptions about weight loss. The preoperative psychosocial evaluation can be used as an intervention to use psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral interventions to improve patients' knowledge and expectations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Weight loss after bariatric surgery varies between patients, and predicting the extent thereof is often inaccurate. The aim of this study was to assess the potential of preoperative plasma leptin and body weight in predicting the maximum weight loss within 2 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP). METHODS The study comprised 68 subjects (39 women, 29 men; mean age 36.4 +/- 10.2 years, body weight 130.3 +/- 24.8 kg, BMI 44.4 +/-6.8 kg/m2) undergoing RYGBP who were followed for 2 years. Baseline and maximum follow-up plasma leptin and weight were assessed. RESULTS Mean maximum weight reduction of 50.5 +/- 19.1 kg (38.0 +/- 9.0%, range 24-100 kg) was noted at 15 +/- 4 months after RYGBP. Baseline plasma leptin was 37.9 +/- 14.5 ng/ml, and decreased to 17.4 +/- 8.1 ng/ml (P < 0.001) at maximum weight reduction. No significant correlation between baseline plasma leptin and absolute or relative weight reduction or minimum body weight achieved was noted. No significant plasma leptin threshold which would be predictive for any consistent extent of weight loss was found. However, baseline body weight was a strong determinant of minimum body weight attained (r = 0.67; P < 0.01) and of maximum absolute weight reduction (r = 0.81; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Preoperative plasma leptin concentration cannot be used as a predictor of weight reduction following RYGBP. Preoperative body weight is a reliable predictor of post-RYGBP weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery ameliorates obesity-associated diseases, resulting in psychological and social benefits. Long-term studies of its effects on quality of life (QOL) assessed with well established instruments are lacking. This prospective study investigated the long-term effects of gastric banding on health-related QOL using an obesity-specific validated measure. METHODS The Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) questionnaire was completed by 50 severely obese patients before surgery and at 1, 2.5 and 5 years after gastric banding. Ninety-eight subjects with normal weight, matched for age, sex and education, also completed the HRQL questionnaire as controls. RESULTS Surgery was successful in all patients. Mean excess weight loss after 1, 2.5 and 5 years was 42.1, 42.2 and 41.6 per cent respectively. General wellbeing, health distress, depression, perceived attractiveness and self-worth improved significantly over the 5 years and, except for general wellbeing, were still improving after 5 years. There were increases in physical activity and work productivity. Successful weight loss was the main determinant of general wellbeing and health distress, and these were adversely affected by band-related complications. In subjects with a body mass index below 30 kg/m(2), scores improved to values for subjects of normal weight. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery resulted in sustained improvement in health-related QOL even though not all excess weight was lost. Normalization of health-related QOL may necessitate greater weight losses.
