Predicting Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery in Patients With Obesity
Sponsor: Université Catholique de Louvain
Summary
As with other nutritional strategies, the clinical response to bariatric surgery can be highly variable, with weight regain being a frequent occurrence. Among multiples factors, co-occurrence of eating disorders such as binge eating disorder has been implicated in insufficient clinical response. Improving our ability to predict how patients will respond to surgery is necessary in order to tailor the care pathways we offer. The mechanisms involved in disturbances of eating behaviour before and after surgery remain largely unknown. This study aims to identify the predictive factors of weight loss after bariatric surgery, as well as the cognitive and biological mechanisms that mediate this effect.
