The Effect of Tele-Counseling Service on Nutrition, Exercise Attitude, and Medication Adherence After Bariatric Surgery

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of teleconsultation service on nutrition, exercise attitudes and medication adherence after bariatric surgery.

Establishment of a Classification System and Postoperative Risk Warning Model for Patients Undergoing Bariatric Metabolic Surgery for Severe Obesity

This study aims to establish a classification system for patients undergoing metabolic surgery for severe obesity by constructing a prospective cohort of 2,000 patients and collecting clinical and biological data at multiple time points before and after surgery. By analyzing clinical, laboratory, and multi-omics characteristics, the study will identify indicators associated with postoperative adverse events and develop a risk warning model using machine learning algorithms. Ultimately, an intelligent digital system will be developed based on the classification criteria and risk model, integrating surgical classification and risk alert functions to provide real-time feedback, supporting clinicians and patients in optimizing postoperative treatment and risk management.

Non-opioid Anesthesia Based on Thoracic Paravertebral Block During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Regional anesthesia is a technique in which a local anesthetic is injected near a nerve or spinal cord to block sensation, motor stimulation, and pain. In this study, an ultrasound-guided paravertebral block will be used, with careful consideration of all positive and negative factors and possible complications. A thoracic paravertebral block is performed by inserting a needle into the intercostal spaces on the back, approximately 4 cm lateral to the spine. Many studies support excellent pain control with this technique, during and after surgery in thoracic and abdominal surgery. Investigators aim to achieve faster patient mobility after surgery, rapid recovery of bowel function, reduced nausea and vomiting, and maximum pain control. The use of opioids, which can additionally cause respiratory suppression and drowsiness, is avoided. At any time in case of need to switch from laparoscopic to open surgery, equally adequate anesthesia and postoperative analgesia are ensured without the need to change the approach to the same. In this study, the basic scientific assumption (hypothesis) of the researchers is that non-opioid anesthesia with thoracic paravertebral block provides adequate pain control during and long-term after the surgical procedure, without the side effects of opioid anesthesia. The main goal of the study is to determine which type of anesthesia results in the best pain control and most significantly reduces complications of anesthesia and surgery in overweight patients who are scheduled for laparoscopic longitudinal gastrectomy and partial/total gastrectomy.

Identification of Pre-surgical Phenotypic Indicators Predictive of Quality of Life Trajectories in Obese Patients Following Bariatric Surgery

This study aims to identify pre-operative phenotypic determinants predictive of quality of life trajectories in post-bariatric surgery patients. In addition, this study will have as a secondary objective the highlighting of a potential link between post-surgery quality of life trajectories and those of anxiety/depression scores, eating behaviors and body mass indices. This study will be conducted during the usual care of patients undergoing the GEROM73 program, lasting a total of 30 months. The GEROM73 program includes care for the six months preceding bariatric surgery and the 24 months following surgery. This program supports patients throughout their bariatric care.. Throughout the GEROM73 program, patients will complete questionnaires on anxiety, depression, eating disorders, Impact of Weight on Quality Of Life. Patients' weight, body mass index and body schema will also be measured throughout the GEROM program.
