Six-year postoperative associations between the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 3 (MMPI-3) and weight recurrence, eating behaviors, adherence, alcohol misuse, and quality of life. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2024; 20:391-398. [PMID: 38216363 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2023.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) leads to beneficial and sustained outcomes. However, many patients evidence weight recurrence and psychosocial functioning may be associated with weight recurrence. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 3 (MMPI-3) is validated for use in presurgical MBS evaluations and likely has clinical utility in understanding weight recurrence and other aspects of postoperative functioning. OBJECTIVE The objective of the current investigation is to understand how postoperative psychosocial functioning relates to weight recurrence and other behaviors and constructs 6 years after MBS. SETTING Cleveland Clinic Bariatric and Metabolic Institute. METHODS A sample of 163 participants consented to take a battery of self-report measures related to psychological functioning, eating behaviors, adherence, alcohol misuse, and quality of life along with their postoperative weight. MMPI-3 scale scores were prorated from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2 - Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) or scored from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2 - Restructured Form - Expanded (MMPI-2-RF-EX). RESULTS Weight recurrence was quite variable in this sample. Postoperative MMPI-3 scales related to emotional/internalizing dysfunction were modestly associated with higher weight recurrence. Postoperative MMPI-3 scale scores also demonstrated associations with other postoperative outcomes including measures of eating behaviors, adherence, alcohol misuse, and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative psychosocial functioning as assessed by the MMPI-3 was associated with weight recurrence and a number of other problematic psychological outcomes beyond weight recurrence.

Surg Obes Relat Dis 2023; 19:1458-1466. [PMID: 37758538 PMCID: PMC10843496 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2023.08.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The rate of suicide is higher among individuals following bariatric surgery compared with the general population; however, it is not clear whether risk is associated with bariatric surgery beyond having severe obesity. OBJECTIVE To compare the risk of a suicide attempt among those who had bariatric surgery versus a nonsurgical cohort with severe obesity. SETTING Aggregate count data were collected from 5 healthcare systems. METHODS Individuals were identified in the surgical cohort if they underwent bariatric surgery between 2009 and 2017 (n = 35,522) and then were compared with a cohort of individuals with severe obesity who never had bariatric surgery (n = 691,752). Suicide attempts were identified after study enrollment date using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Editions (ICD-9 and ICD-10) diagnosis codes from 2009 to 2021. RESULTS The relative risk of a suicide attempt was 64% higher in the cohort with bariatric surgery than that of the nonsurgical cohort (2.2% versus 1.3%; relative risk = 1.64; 95% CI, 1.53-1.76). Within the cohort with bariatric surgery, suicide attempts were more common among the 18- to 39-year age group (P < .001), women (P = .002), Hawaiian-Pacific Islanders (P < .001), those with Medicaid insurance (P < .001), and those with a documented mental health condition at baseline (in the previous 2 years; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The relative risk of suicide attempts was higher among those who underwent bariatric surgery compared with a nonsurgical cohort, though absolute risk remained low. Providers should be aware of this increased risk. Screening for suicide risk after bariatric surgery may be useful to identify high-risk individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nearly two-thirds of patients engage in alcohol use after bariatric surgery, while a substantial number meet criteria for alcohol use disorder after their procedure. Given that pre-surgical education may not be sufficient, alternative methods of preventing post-surgical drinking are needed. We sought feedback on a proposed technology-based intervention to reduce alcohol use for individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery. METHODS Twenty patients who consumed alcohol post-surgery completed qualitative interviews where they provided opinions on sample intervention content, delivery method, timing, and other aspects of a two-session web-based intervention followed by tailored text messaging for 6 months. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded using thematic analysis principles. RESULTS Participants strongly endorsed using technology to deliver an alcohol intervention, citing the interactivity and personal tailoring available in the proposed software. Education about the effects of post-surgical drinking and learning new coping strategies for social situations were the two most salient themes to emerge from questions about intervention content. Throughout the interviews, participants strongly highlighted the importance of measuring patient readiness to change alcohol use and matching intervention content to such motivation levels. Respondents felt that text messages could extend what they had learned, but also requested additional non-alcohol content (e.g., recipes, exercise tips). Most participants agreed that an online forum consisting of peers and professionals with whom they could ask questions and interact would be useful. CONCLUSION Web- and text message-based interventions may be an acceptable approach to prevent alcohol use post-bariatric surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Psychiatric comorbidity is common among the bariatric population although the prognostic significance of psychiatric comorbidity on outcomes is uncertain. This prospective study examined differences in weight and psychosocial functioning outcomes based on lifetime and current (post-surgical) psychiatric comorbidity. METHODS Participants were 140 adults in a RCT for loss-of-control (LOC)-eating approximately six months post-bariatric surgery. Two structured interviews were administered: the Eating Disorder Examination-Bariatric Surgery Version (EDE-BSV) to assess LOC-eating and eating-disorder psychopathology, and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) to assess lifetime and current (post-surgical) psychiatric disorders. The EDE-BSV and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) were repeated at post-treatment and 24-month follow-ups. RESULTS Lifetime (75.7%) and current/post-surgical (25%) psychiatric diagnoses were common. Groups with and without psychiatric comorbidity did not differ significantly in weight loss outcomes at any timepoint but psychiatric comorbidity was associated significantly with greater LOC-eating, eating-disorder psychopathology, and depression. CONCLUSIONS Among participants with LOC-eating post-bariatric surgery, lifetime and post-surgical psychiatric comorbidity was not associated with acute or longer-term weight outcomes but predicted poorer psychosocial functioning. Findings challenge prevailing views that psychiatric comorbidity is related to poorer longer-term weight outcomes following bariatric surgery but highlight its clinical significance as it is associated with broad psychosocial difficulties.

Abstract
The relationship between bariatric surgery and alcohol use disorder (AUD) suggests that there may be a parallel connection between bariatric surgery and gambling disorder (GD), although this has never been researched before. Here, we describe observations suggesting that patients undergoing bariatric surgery may develop gambling disorders after surgery. Obese, older adults, and women may be at particular risk of developing GD because of their higher susceptibility to somatic comorbidities. We call for research addressing factors affecting the development of GD in patients undergoing bariatric surgery and how this could be prevented.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery are at increased risk of an alcohol use disorder. Though patients understand this risk, the majority engage in post-surgical alcohol use. This suggests that education alone is not sufficient to reduce post-surgical drinking. To prevent development of post-surgical alcohol use disorders, we need better understanding of the reasons patients use alcohol following surgery. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with post-surgical alcohol use. METHOD Patients (N = 20) who were 1-3 years post-bariatric surgery and were consuming alcohol at least twice monthly participated in a 60-min interview. Participants responded about their knowledge regarding risk of post-surgical alcohol use and reasons why patients may start drinking. Deductive and inductive coding were completed by two independent raters. RESULTS Although nearly all participants were aware of the risks associated with post-surgical alcohol use, most believed that lifelong abstinence from alcohol was unrealistic. Common reasons identified for using alcohol after bariatric surgery included social gatherings, resuming pre-surgical use, and addiction transfer. Inductive coding identified three themes: participants consumed alcohol in different ways compared to prior to surgery; the effect of alcohol was substantially stronger than pre-surgery; and beliefs about why patients develop problematic alcohol use following surgery. CONCLUSION Patients consume alcohol after bariatric surgery for a variety of reasons and they do not believe recommending abstinence is useful. Understanding patient perceptions can inform interventions to minimize alcohol use after bariatric surgery. Modifications to traditional alcohol relapse prevention strategies may provide a more robust solution to decreasing negative outcomes experienced by individuals undergoing bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New-onset substance use disorder (SUD) following bariatric surgery is a significant concern that is likely multi-factorial, although the etiologies are unclear. Previous studies have identified variable rates of SUD along with utilizing different methods and measures. The objective of this study is to evaluate new-onset SUD diagnoses among adults following bariatric surgery and compare these rates to those in the general population as well as those diagnosed with overweight or obesity. METHODS Data was extracted from TriNetX Research Platform and used to build three cohorts of adults: those who had bariatric surgery (bariatric surgery cohort), those diagnosed with obesity or overweight, and a general population cohort. Rates of incident SUD were compared among these three groups. Initial encounters for all individuals were from January 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019. RESULTS The incidence rate of SUD in patients with a history of bariatric surgery was 6.55% (n = 2523). When compared to the general population, persons who had any type of bariatric procedure had a decreased risk of new-onset SUD with an overall odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence limits (CL)] of 0.89 [0.86, 0.93]. When compared to persons with overweight or obesity, bariatric patients were less likely to develop any form of SUD (OR: 0.65 [0.62, 0.67]). CONCLUSION While overall rates of new-onset SUD are lower among those who had bariatric surgery, they also vary by surgery and substance type. Efforts should still be made to address new-onset SUD in order to optimize the post-surgical care of patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about associations between preoperative psychiatric, disordered eating, and substance use diagnoses with the clinical decision to require follow-up after the preoperative psychological evaluation. To determine the proportion of patients who require follow-up (no required follow-up (NFU), required follow-up (RFU), placed on hold (POH)) from the preoperative psychological evaluation, associations with diagnoses, and noted reasons for follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample included 508 patients (77.6% female; 64.4% White) pursuing bariatric metabolic surgery with completed psychological evaluations between August 2019 and December 2020 at a Midwest medical center. Patient demographics, psychological evaluation outcome and corresponding reasoning, and psychiatric, disordered eating, and substance use diagnoses were extracted from the health record. Descriptive and bivariate analyses determined associations between demographics and diagnoses with psychological evaluation outcomes and corresponding reasoning. RESULTS The breakdown of psychological evaluation outcomes was 60.6% (n = 308) NFU, 38.4% (n = 195) RFU, and 1.0% (n = 5) POH. Demographic correlates of RFU included higher BMI, being single, lower educational attainment, unemployment, public/no insurance, and receiving multiple or any psychiatric diagnosis (all p-values < 0.05). Diagnostic correlates of RFU included anxiety, depression, not having a current trauma or stressor-related disorder, disordered eating, and substance use diagnoses (all p-values < 0.001). RFU/POH was primarily due to psychiatric (61%) reasons. CONCLUSION Higher rates of RFU were observed for patients with higher economic need and with psychiatric, disordered eating, or substance use diagnoses. Future work should establish preoperative programming to assist patients with addressing ongoing psychiatric concerns prior to bariatric metabolic surgery.

Abstract
Presurgical psychological assessment of bariatric surgery candidates aims to identify psychosocial risk factors and provide treatment recommendations to facilitate optimal outcomes. Such assessment typically includes psychometric testing and a clinical interview. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) has been commonly used as a broadband measure to assess a number of psychosocial domains in bariatric clinics. The newest version of the MMPI, the MMPI-3, was recently released. This study sought to (1) establish whether the MMPI-3 is comparable to the MMPI-2-RF in a sample of patients seeking bariatric surgery, (2) report reliability data for all MMPI-3 scale scores in this sample, and (3) explore associations between commonly used self-report symptom measures and substantive scales of the MMPI-3 to ascertain convergent and discriminant validity patterns. Six hundred and thirty-five presurgical patients completed the MMPI-3 in addition to the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), and Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q). The majority (79.1%) of the sample was female, 65.5% was white, and 26.6% was Black. Scores on most of the MMPI-3 Emotional/Internalizing Dysfunction scales were meaningfully associated with the PHQ-9, GAD-7, and most EDE-Q subscales (except for Restraint). Meaningful discriminant patterns were observed as well. We conclude that the substantive scales of the MMPI-3 are reliable, comparable to their MMPI-2-RF counterparts, and evidence good convergent validity with extra-test measures assessing depression, anxiety, alcohol use, and eating disorder psychopathology in a preoperative bariatric sample.

Abstract
GOAL The goal of this study was to determine if bariatric surgeries are associated with de novo alcohol-related complications. BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is associated with an increased risk of alcohol use disorders. The effect of bariatric surgeries on other alcohol-related outcomes, including liver disease, is understudied. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the IMS PharMetrics database, we performed a cohort study of adults undergoing bariatric surgery or cholecystectomy, excluding patients with an alcohol-related diagnosis within 1 year before surgery. The primary outcome was any alcohol-related diagnosis after surgery. We fit a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model to determine independent associations between bariatric surgeries [Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB); adjustable gastric band; sleeve gastrectomy] versus cholecystectomy and the development of de novo alcohol-related outcomes. We further fit complication-specific models for each alcohol-related diagnosis. RESULTS RYGB was significantly associated with an increased hazard of any de novo alcohol-related diagnosis [adjusted hazard ratio (AHR)=1.51, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.40-1.62], while adjustable gastric band (AHR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.48-0.63) and sleeve gastrectomy (AHR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.64-0.91) had decreased hazards. RYGB was associated with a 2- to 3-fold higher hazard for alcoholic hepatitis (AHR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.17-3.33), abuse (AHR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.88-2.24), and poisoning (3.14, 95% CI: 1.80-5.49). CONCLUSIONS RYGB was associated with higher hazards of developing de novo alcohol-related hepatitis, abuse, and poisoning compared with a control group. Patients without a history of alcohol use disorder should still be counseled on the increased risk of alcohol use and alcohol-related complications, including alcohol-related liver disease, following RYGB, and should be monitored long term for the development of alcohol-related complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery is a relatively safe surgical procedure with a high success rate. However, recent reports indicate a higher prevalence of alcohol or substance abuse disorder in this patient group. The purpose of this study was to review the related evidence to serve as a reference for multidisciplinary teams who treat these patients. METHODS We searched the PubMed and CENTRAL databases. The odds ratios were extracted from the different articles, comparing the prevalence of the abuse of alcohol or other substances in the postoperative period versus preoperative levels. We also compared the prevalence of alcohol use disorder after different types of bariatric surgery. RESULTS A total of 49 121 bariatric patients (80.8% female) were evaluated for alcohol use disorder. In general, bariatric surgery was found to be associated with an increase in the prevalence of alcohol abuse (4.58 ± 5.3 vs. 1.58 ± 10.7% in the preoperative period). We also found that the population of patients who underwent RYGB procedures had a higher prevalence of alcohol use disorder than patients who underwent another type of surgery (OR: 1.83; 95% CI: 1.51-2.21). The prevalence of substance abuse disorder (other than alcohol) after this procedure is less studied, although there appears to be an increased risk of abuse of certain substances. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery is the best treatment for obesity and its complications. The evidence reviewed suggests that it correlates with a modest but consistent increase in the prevalence of abuse of alcohol and other substances. Medical teams who treat bariatric patients must be informed about this eventuality for its timely prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the remission of preoperative food addiction is associated with increases or new onset of other addictions within the first year following bariatric surgery. METHODS One hundred and twenty-five bariatric surgery patients were assessed before surgery (t1) and at 6 months (t2) and 1 year (t3) follow-ups. The assessments included the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (YFAS 2.0) and standardized questionnaires to measure symptoms of problematic alcohol use, gambling disorder, internet-use disorder, buying-shopping disorder, hypersexual disorder and exercise dependence. RESULTS Forty-nine (39.2%) patients were assigned to the food addiction (FA+ ) and 76 patients (60.8%) to the non-food addiction group (FA- ) based on their preoperative YFAS scores. Overall, BMI and symptoms of food addiction decreased significantly from baseline to follow-ups. Preoperative food addiction status was not associated with postoperative increases or new onset of other addictions. Elevated symptoms of buying-shopping disorder, internet-use and hypersexual behaviour at baseline in the FA+ -group decreased over time and were comparable to the FA- -group at follow-ups. CONCLUSION The 'addiction transfer' or 'cross addiction' hypothesis was not supportive for alcohol addiction, gambling addiction or other behaviours that may be addictive. Further studies are needed that investigate larger samples and longer observation periods, as well as other substance-use disorders.

Impact of smoking on weight loss outcomes after bariatric surgery: a literature review. Surg Endosc 2021; 35:5936-5952.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between smoking and surgical complications after bariatric surgery has been well-established. However, given that this patient population is inherently weight-concerned, understanding the effects of tobacco use on postoperative weight loss is essential to guiding clinicians in counseling patients. We aimed to summarize the current literature examining the effects of preoperative and postoperative smoking, as well as changes in smoking status, on bariatric surgery weight loss outcomes. METHODS Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, and SCOPUS databases were queried to identify relevant published studies. RESULTS Overall, 20 studies were included. Preoperative and postoperative smoking rates varied widely across studies, as did requirements for smoking cessation prior to bariatric surgery. Reported preoperative smoking prevalence ranged from 1 to 62%, and postoperative smoking prevalence ranged from 6 to 43%. The majority of studies which examined preoperative and/or postoperative smoking habits found no association between smoking habits and postoperative weight loss outcomes. A minority of studies found relatively small differences in postoperative weight loss between smokers and nonsmokers; these often became nonsignificant with longer follow-up. No studies found significant associations between changes in smoking status and weight loss outcomes. CONCLUSION While smoking has been associated with weight loss in the general population, most current evidence demonstrates that smoking habits are not associated with weight loss outcomes after bariatric surgery. However, due to the heterogeneity in study design and analysis, no definitive conclusions can be made, and more robust studies are needed to investigate any relationship between smoking and long-term weight loss outcomes. Given the established increased risk of surgical complications and mortality in smokers, smoking cessation should be encouraged.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of hazardous drinking in the four years after bariatric surgery and investigate whether there are differences between those undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. Participants (N = 564) who underwent bariatric surgery between 2014 and 2017 completed a survey regarding post-surgical alcohol use. The rate of alcohol use following bariatric surgery was significantly higher among those between 1- and 4-years post-surgery compared to those less than 1-year post-surgery. Of those who were consuming alcohol at the time of participation, 16.1% had scores indicative of hazardous drinking. The rate of hazardous drinking among those 3-4 years post-surgery was greater than those less than 1-year post-surgery with 33.3% of patients engaging in hazardous drinking at 3-4 years post-surgery. Patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy had similar rates of hazardous drinking as RYGB (16.3% vs. 15.7%). Thus, findings showed that rates of hazardous drinking were higher among those further removed from bariatric surgery and patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy appeared to have similar rates of hazardous drinking as those who underwent RYGB. Results suggest a need for monitoring of alcohol use for all patients pursuing bariatric surgery, regardless of surgery type.

Abstract
A variety of weight loss surgeries have been developed to fight the obesity epidemic, with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) being one of the most effective and popular procedures. However, the underlying mechanisms behind its efficacy are still not well understood. Furthermore, growing clinical evidence suggests that RYGB may result in increased risk for development of alcohol use disorder (AUD). The vagus nerve is a potentially critical contributor to increased risk of AUD following RYGB due to the potential for significant damage to the vagus during surgery, which has been confirmed in rodent studies. Studies aiming at the mechanisms underlying development of alcohol or substance use disorders following the surgery have exclusively used male rats, despite the majority of RYGB patients being female. Thus, the current study had two objectives: 1) to investigate the effect of RYGB on ethanol (EtOH) intake in female rats using a protocol previously established in male rats, and 2) to test the effect of vagal damage and high fat diet (HFD) on EtOH intake in female rats. In the first study, 22 female rats were maintained on HFD for four weeks and then split into two surgical groups, RYGB (n = 10) and Sham (n = 12). All rats then underwent a two-bottle choice test of increasing EtOH concentrations: 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%. Rats were then forced to abstain from EtOH for two weeks, after which access to 8% EtOH was reinstated. The RYGB female rats significantly increased their intake for low concentrations of EtOH (2% and 4%) and during the reinstatement period for 8%. These results mirror those seen in male rats, and thus, confirms RYGB in female rats as an equally viable model to males. In the second study, 40 female rats were separated into four groups: HFD/Sham, HFD/Vagotomy, normal diet (ND)/Sham, and ND/Vagotomy. All rats then were subjected to the same two-bottle choice test protocol as in the previous study. Rats in the vagotomy condition had significantly greater preference for 2% and 4% EtOH compared with Sham-operated controls. EtOH intake, either in ml or adjusted for body weight, was greater in rats maintained on ND compared with rats maintained on HFD. These data suggest that vagal damage may, at least in part, contribute to increased preference for EtOH. Furthermore, this increase in EtOH preference is counter to the blunting effect of HFD. In conclusion, the data presented here suggest a role for vagal damage in risk of AUD after weight loss surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore patients' long-term experiences with drinking alcohol after Roux-n-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for conceptualizing what may indicate problematic drinking behavior after bariatric surgery. STUDY DESIGN Three-center, observational study. PATIENTS 546 adult patients undergoing RYGB in the period 2003-2009 in Norway. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Self-reported data on drinking behavior and experiences related to alcohol collected 10-15 years after surgery. RESULTS Out of the 959 patients undergoing RYGB in the period, 29 were diseased and 546 participated in this follow-up study (58.7%). Focusing on suspicious changes in drinking behavior, 8.8% reported drinking more, 11.5% consumed alcohol at least twice a week, and 10.6% consumed at a minimum of 6 units of alcohol at a frequency of at least once monthly. The nature of hangovers had changed for about a third of the patients, with 21.6% reporting these to feel weaker or absent. Repeated alcoholic blackouts were reported by 11.9%. A subgroup of the patients were categorized as displaying presumed problematic drinking behavior(PPDB). Among the PPDB-men there was a significant association to having had a fall last year (6 (100.0%) PPDB-patients vs. 30 (29.7%) non-PPDB, p<.001). Among the PPDB-women, there was a significant association to having had alcohol problems prior to surgery (7 (70.0%) PPDB-patients vs. 67 (17.7%) non-PPDB, p<.001). Less significant associations to PPDB reported for explorative purposes were lack of patient education (men) (16 (26.2%) PPDB-patients vs. 8 (61.5%) non-PPDB, p=.014); more than 3 months persistent musculoskeletal pain (women) (45 (15.3%) PPDB-patients vs. 29 (24.6%) non-PPDB, p=.026); subjective problems with memory (women) (58 (20.7%) PPDB-patients vs. 10 (9.1%) non-PPDB, p=.006); and, receiving professional help for mental problems last 12 months (women) (29 (22.7%) PPDB-patients vs. 45 (14.7%) non-PPDB, p=.043). CONCLUSION A subset of patients display drinking behaviors that may be consistent with postsurgical alcohol problems. Screening instruments like AUDIT may not be sufficiently specific to capture several risk behaviors occurring after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bipolar disorder (BP) is highly comorbid with obesity, however, little is known about how BP might be associated with bariatric surgery outcomes. METHODS In this retrospective clinical cohort study, 1034 patients completed a psychological evaluation, and screening positive for possible BP was defined as a score ≥7 and moderate disability on the Mood Disorders Questionnaire. Food addiction (FA), subthreshold binge eating disorder (BED), and illegal drug use were also assessed using standardized questionnaires. RESULTS The 54 (5.2%) patients screening positive for BP were less likely to have bariatric surgery compared to 980 (94.8%) patients who screened negative for BP (5 patients or 9.3% vs 273 patients, or 27.9%). Patients with possible BP also had significantly higher prevalence of FA (37% vs 13.2%), subthreshold BED (29.6% vs 8.3%) and illegal drug use (7.4% vs 2.1%). CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective clinical cohort study, patients who screened positive for BP had a higher prevalence of food addiction, subthreshold binge eating disorder and recent illegal drug use. They also demonstrated lower completion rates for having bariatric surgery. Clearly, more needs to be learned about how to help patients with symptoms of bipolar disorder manage their obesity and behavioral challenges.

[PMID: 33063154 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-020-05038-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Revised: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The adverse implications of obesity extend beyond physical health to include negative impact on quality of life (QoL), mood, and eating habits. While bariatric surgery provides successful weight loss and metabolic benefits, studies describe conflicting results on QoL and mood-related outcomes. METHODS Patients (n = 140) with class II/III obesity and T2DM were recruited from 2015 to 2019, and stratified based on medical or surgical treatment. Questionnaires including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Euro QoL visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS), and Revised 21-item Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-R21) were recorded at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after treatment. RESULTS At baseline, the surgical group (n = 55) and medical group (n = 85) had no significant difference in questionnaire outcomes. At 6 and 12 months, EQ-VAS was higher in the surgical group (12 months surgical 82.00 ± 12.64, medical 72.81 ± 16.56, p = 0.001), with greater improvement from baseline. HADS-D scores at 12 months were lower in the surgical group (surgical 2.60 ± 2.88, medical 3.90 ± 3.58, p = 0.025). At 12 months, the surgical group also had better TFEQ-R21 scores, with higher cognitive restraint scores (surgical 19.09 ± 3.00, medical 16.69 ± 3.61, p < 0.001), and lower scores for uncontrolled eating (surgical 14.96 ± 3.87, medical 17.89 ± 5.34, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION In the treatment of patients with obesity and T2DM, bariatric surgery resulted in improved QoL outcomes at 12 months compared to medical therapy. This could be related to improvement in weight and metabolic outcomes, and altered gut-brain axis communication. This is the first prospective study assessing the impact of bariatric surgery on health-related QoL in Asia compared against a control group who received medical therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mental health professionals routinely assess psychosocial risk factors prior to bariatric surgery to help identify factors that may impede surgical outcomes. Data regarding longer-term psychosocial functioning postoperatively are needed. PURPOSE Assess the psychosocial functioning of patients who obtained bariatric surgery approximately 6 years ago. METHODS A total of 161 patients consented to participate in the outcome study. Participants were compensated for their time and participation. Participants were weighed by the research/clinical staff and asked to complete a battery of self-report measures, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF). Other measures targeted adherence, eating behaviors/body image, alcohol use, and quality of life. RESULTS Postoperative MMPI-2-RF scores indicate psychosocial functioning is largely similar to previously published pre-surgical functioning data. Six-year weight loss outcomes were lower than previous studies reported for a similar postoperative time period (mean %total weight loss = 22.98%; standard deviation = 11.71), though quality of life scores were relatively high. Postoperative MMPI-2-RF scale scores were associated with poorer psychosocial functioning, reduced adherence, greater eating behaviors/body image concerns, greater alcohol use severity, lower quality of life, and less overall weight loss. CONCLUSIONS Psychological dysfunction 6 years after surgery is associated with various adverse outcomes. Ongoing, postoperative treatment may result in better long-term functioning for patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Smoking has been associated with postoperative complications and mortality in bariatric surgery. The evidence for smoking is based on self-report and medical charts, which can lead to misclassification and miscalculation of the associations. Determination of cotinine can objectively define nicotine exposure. We determined the accuracy of self-reported smoking compared to cotinine measurement in three phases of the bariatric surgery trajectory. METHODS Patients in the phase of screening (screening), on the day of surgery (surgery), and more than 18 months after surgery (follow-up) were consecutively selected. Self-reported smoking was registered and serum cotinine was measured. We evaluated the accuracy of self-reported smoking compared to cotinine, and the level of agreement between self-report and cotinine for each phase. RESULTS In total, 715 patients were included. In the screening, surgery, and follow-up group, 25.6%, 18.0%, and 15.5%, respectively, was smoking based on cotinine. The sensitivity of self-reported smoking was 72.5%, 31.0%, and 93.5% in the screening, surgery, and follow-up group, respectively (p < 0.001). The specificity of self-report was > 95% in all groups (p < 0.02). The level of agreement between self-report and cotinine was 0.778, 0.414, and 0.855 for the screening, surgery, and follow-up group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Underreporting of smoking occurs before bariatric surgery, mainly on the day of surgery. Future studies on effects of smoking and smoking cessation in bariatric surgery should include methods taking into account the issue of underreporting.

Abstract
In the last decades, obesity has become a major concern for clinical and public health. Despite the variety of available treatments, the outcomes remain—by and large—still unsatisfactory, owing to high rates of nonresponse and relapse. Interestingly, obesity is being associated with a growing surge of neuropsychiatric problems, certainly related to the pathogenesis of this condition, and likely to be of great consequence as for its treatment and prognosis. In a neurobiologic direction, a sturdy body of evidence has recently shown that the immune–metabolic–endocrine dyscrasias, notoriously attached to excess body weight/adiposity, affect and impair the morpho-functional integrity of the brain, thus possibly contributing to neuroprogressive/degenerative processes and behavioral deviances. Likewise, in a neuropsychiatric perspective, obesity displays complex associations with mood disorders and affective temperamental dimensions (namely cyclothymia), eating disorders characterized by overeating/binge-eating behaviors, ADHD-related executive dysfunctions, emotional dysregulation and motivational–addictive disturbances. With this review, we attempt to provide the clinician a synoptic, yet exhaustive, tool for a more conscious approach to that subset of this condition, which could be reasonably termed “psychiatric” obesity.

Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB), one of the most common and successful procedures for combatting obesity, is associated with post-surgery substance use disorder (SUD) and other addictive behaviors in a subset of patients. We investigated the effects of RYGB on GABA-A receptor levels in the rat brain to identify potential mechanisms of this behavior. The GABAergic system is affected in addiction and has been implicated in the pathology of obesity. We assigned male Sprague-Dawley rats to four groups: standard, low fat diet with sham surgery (control), ad libitum HFD with sham surgery (Sham), calorie restricted HFD with sham surgery (Sham-FR), or HFD with RYGB surgery. Surgery was performed after 8 weeks on the control or HFD diet. Rats maintained their respective diets for 9 weeks post-surgery, then were sacrificed for GABA-A receptor autoradiography using the [3H] Flunitrazepam ligand. We identified increased GABA-A binding in the perirhinal cortex of ad-libitum HFD fed rats compared to normal diet controls. RYGB surgery increased GABA-A in the ectorhinal cortex compared to normal diet controls, and increased binding in the jaw region of the primary somatosensory cortex compared to food-restricted rats that received sham surgery. Hypothalamus GABA-A was also negatively correlated with body weight in the RYGB group, where GABA signaling may play a role in obesity regulation. These results suggest that HFD and RYGB modulate GABA signaling in regions important for object recognition memory, and that increased GABA-A levels in the jaw's perceptual field cortex arise from the surgery itself, independent of caloric restriction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Some studies have shown an increase in alcohol use disorders (AUD) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB), but its relationship with binge eating disorder (BED) has not been fully explored. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of AUD and BED after RYGB and also to evaluate if BED is predictive of late postoperative occurrence of AUD or BED. METHODS Patients (n = 46) submitted to RYGB, in a tertiary outpatient weight management service at a Federal University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, were tested for BED and AUD using the Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns-Revised (QEWP-R) and AUDIT, respectively. BED was tested before surgery, while both disorders were evaluated with a follow-up period of 12 ± 1.6 years after RYGB. RESULTS No patients reported AUD before RYBP. After a mean period of 12 years from surgery, ten patients (21.7%) were diagnosed with AUD. Before surgery, BED was present in 24 patients (52.2%) and it was detected in seven out of these 24 patients (29.2%) after RYGB. Thirteen new cases of BED (28.2%) were detected after surgery; total of 20 patients (43.5%) with BED. No association was found between pre- and postsurgery BED (p = 0.148). After RYGB, four out of 24 patients (16.6%) with presurgery BED developed AUD, and no association was found between presurgery BED and postsurgery AUD (p = 0.384). Seven out of ten patients (70%) with AUD after RYGB also developed BED, but no statistical significance was found between these two disorders (p = 0.061). CONCLUSION The presence of BED before RYGB did not predict AUD and BED after RYGB. Nevertheless, factors involved in a possible association between BED and AUD after surgery remain to be determined. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, cohort study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evidence suggests that a significant minority of individuals who undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) experience problematic alcohol and substance use following surgery. However, little research has examined characteristics, drinking patterns, and possible risk factors within this population. To provide descriptive information of a sample of adults with self-identified alcohol use problems following bariatric surgery, this study examined (1) alcohol and substance use symptoms using standardized assessments, (2) current and past psychiatric comorbidity, (3) subjective changes in alcohol sensitivity following surgery, and (4) specific patterns of alcohol use prior to and following bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult participants (N = 26) completed a series of structured diagnostic interviews and self-report assessments (e.g., Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test [AUDIT], Michigan Alcohol Screening Test [MAST], Drug Abuse Screening Test [DAST]) by telephone 1 to 4 years following a RYGB or sleeve gastrectomy. RESULTS All participants met objective criteria for current problematic alcohol use based on AUDIT and MAST cutoff scores, reported increased subjective sensitivity to alcohol following surgery, and evidenced significant current and past psychiatric comorbidities, most notably previous major depression (45.5%). Approximately one third of participants evidenced new-onset Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) alcohol use or dependence following surgery. Preoperative drinking frequencies and quantities were similar to those reported during the period of the heaviest postoperative alcohol use. CONCLUSIONS Findings have implications for pre- and postoperative prevention and intervention efforts. Additional research is needed to further elucidate risk factors for problematic alcohol use following bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity and its related comorbidities. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) are currently the most popular weight-loss surgeries used worldwide. Following these surgeries, many patients self-report changes in taste perception and decreased preference for unhealthy foods. These reported changes might account for increased adherence to healthier diets and successful weight loss after surgeries. However, researchers have used a variety of methodologies to assess patients' reported changes andresults are discrepant. The goal of this review is to summarize the literature regarding changes to taste function and ingestive behavior following RYGB and SG to examine differences in findings by methodology (indirect vs. direct measurements). We focused our review around changes in sweets, fats, and alcohol because most of the documented changes in ingestive behavior post-surgery are related to changes in these dietary items. We found that studies using surveys and questionnaires generally find that subjects self-report changes in taste and decrease their preference and cravings for energy-dense foods (particularly, sweets and high-fats). However, studies using validated sensory techniques that include oral sampling or by using direct food intake measurements find little to no change in subjects' ability to perceive taste or their preference for energy-dense foods. Therefore, reported changes in taste and food preferences are unlikely to be explained by alterations in taste intensity and diet selection, and are rather related to changes in the rewarding value of food. Further, that RYGB, and likely SG, is associated with increased alcohol consumption and arisk to develop an alcohol use disorder) supports the notion that these surgeries alter central circuits of reward that are critical in the regulation of ingestive behavior.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in rat reduces mu-opioid receptor levels in brain regions associated with stress and energy regulation. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0218680.

Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) is the most common and effective weight loss procedure for severe obesity. However, a significant increase in addictive behaviors and new-onset substance use disorder (SUD) are sometimes observed post-surgery. The endogenous opioid system is known to play a major role in motivated behavior and reward, as well as the abuse of substances, including alcohol, tobacco, opioids and highly palatable foods. Here, we examined the effects of RYGB on mu-opioid receptor levels in the brain. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of four groups: standard diet with sham surgery (control), ad libitum high-energy high-fat (HF) diet with sham surgery, calorie restricted HF diet with sham surgery (Sham-FR), or HF diet with RYGB surgery. Control and HF groups were fed their respective diets for 8 weeks, with surgery performed on the eighth week. After 9 weeks on their respective diets post-surgery, animals were sacrificed for mu-opioid receptor autoradiography using the [3H] [D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4-Gly5-ol]- enkephalin (DAMGO) ligand. Rats with RYGB showed reduced DAMGO binding in the central amygdala compared to sham-operated HF diet controls, and in the hypothalamus compared to high-fat fed Sham-FR. Diet alone did not change [3H] DAMGO binding in any region. These findings show that RYGB surgery, independent of diet or caloric restriction, decreases mu opioid signaling in specific regions important for stress and energy regulation. Thus, RYGB surgery may lead to greater stress sensitivity via downregulated mu opioid signaling in the central amygdala, which may contribute to the observed increased risk in some subjects for addictive behavior.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery (BS) produces superior weight loss compared to non-surgical interventions. However, studies suggest bariatric patients who have undergone gastric-bypass surgery have an increased risk of developing new onset substance use disorder (SUD) or suffer negative outcomes after surgery. As such, many bariatric programs consider alcohol/ illicit drug misuse a contraindication to BS. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate weight loss outcomes, post-surgery substance use patterns and other morbidity/mortality in BS patients with a history of substance use/SUD. METHODS Studies were identified by searching Ovid Medline(R), Embase, and PsychInfo. We included all study types investigating humans of any age/sex who had undergone any BS procedure with data regarding substance use before and/or after surgery. Outcome measures included metabolic outcomes and psychiatric outcomes after bariatric surgery in patients reporting substance use prior to bariatric surgery and substance use patterns after bariatric surgery. RESULTS Fifty-eight studies were included in the review. Studies reporting weight loss after BS did not demonstrate an association between substance use and negative weight loss outcomes. Several studies reported a significant portion of participants having new onset or increased substance use after BS. Factors associated with new onset or increased substance use/SUD after BS included the type of surgery, a history of SUD, a family history of SUD, coping skills/life stressors, age, male sex and alcohol sensitization after surgery. CONCLUSION Substance use history does not appear to influence weight loss after BS, however it may contribute to increased substance use after BS. Clinicians should ensure valid screening tools when assessing BS candidates for substance use history and ensure long term follow-up care post-operatively.

Abstract
Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder and is accompanied by multiple medical comorbidities, many of which are associated with obesity-related diseases. However, the BED itself is likely to confer additional risk factors. BED presents with medical symptoms in virtually every body system and can have devastating consequences on both quality and length of life. This review covers the major comorbidities of BED and highlights areas of ongoing research in this disorder.

Abstract
The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Pediatric Committee updated their evidence-based guidelines published in 2012, performing a comprehensive literature search (2009-2017) with 1387 articles and other supporting evidence through February 2018. The significant increase in data supporting the use of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in adolescents since 2012 strengthens these guidelines from prior reports. Obesity is recognized as a disease; treatment of severe obesity requires a life-long multidisciplinary approach with combinations of lifestyle changes, nutrition, medications, and MBS. We recommend using modern definitions of severe obesity in children with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention age- and sex-matched growth charts defining class II obesity as 120% of the 95th percentile and class III obesity as 140% of the 95th percentile. Adolescents with class II obesity and a co-morbidity (listed in the guidelines), or with class III obesity should be considered for MBS. Adolescents with cognitive disabilities, a history of mental illness or eating disorders that are treated, immature bone growth, or low Tanner stage should not be denied treatment. MBS is safe and effective in adolescents; given the higher risk of adult obesity that develops in childhood, MBS should not be withheld from adolescents when severe co-morbidities, such as depressed health-related quality of life score, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis exist. Early intervention can reduce the risk of persistent obesity as well as end organ damage from long standing co-morbidities.

Abstract
Diarrhea after bariatric procedures, mainly those with malabsorptive elements including Roux-Y Gastric Bypass and Biliopancreatic Diversion, is common and an essential determinant of quality of life and micro- and macronutrient deficiencies. Bariatric surgery is the only sustainably successful method to address morbid obesity and its comorbidities, particularly gaining more and more importance in the specific treatment of diabetic patients. Approximately half a million procedures are annually performed around the world, with numbers expected to rise drastically in the near future. A multitude of factors exert their influence on bowel habits; preoperative comorbidities and procedure-related aspects are intertwined with postoperative nutritional habits. Diagnosis may be challenging owing to the characteristics of post-bariatric surgery anatomy with hindered accessibility of excluded segments of the small bowel and restriction at the gastric level. Conventional testing measures, if available, generally yield low accuracy and are usually not validated in this specific population. Limited trials of empiric treatment are a practical alternative and oftentimes an indispensable part of the diagnostic process. This review provides an overview of causes for chronic post-bariatric surgery diarrhea and details the particularities of its diagnosis and treatment in this specific patient population. Topics of current interest such as the impact of gut microbiota and the influence of bile acids on morbid obesity and especially their role in diarrhea are highlighted in order to provide a better understanding of the specific problems and chances of future treatment in post-bariatric surgery patients.

Abstract
Obesity is a multifactorial, chronic disease that has proven difficult to treat. An increased understanding of aetiological mechanisms is critical to the development of more effective obesity prevention and treatment strategies. A growing body of empirical evidence has demonstrated parallels between obesity, overeating and substance abuse, including shared behavioural, psychological and neurophysiological factors implicated in the excessive intake of both food and substances of abuse. Several different lines of research have recently emerged that hold the potential to shed light on the connection between obesity, food reward and addiction, with studies examining changes in alcohol use/misuse after weight loss surgery providing a particularly interesting perspective on these interrelationships. However, these lines of investigation have proceeded in relative isolation, and relevant research findings have yet to be integrated in a synthesized, comprehensive manner. To provide an opportunity to achieve such a synthesis, a scientific symposium was convened at the Radcliffe Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Invited participants were researchers working in diverse domains related to the intersection between obesity and addiction. Extensive discussion was generated suggesting novel research directions. In this article, we summarize and synthesize the symposium participants' ongoing research in this area, incorporating additional relevant research holding potential clues regarding the connections between obesity, weight loss surgery and addiction.

Surg Obes Relat Dis 2017; 13:85-94.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Problematic alcohol use and increased sensitivity postoperatively in adult weight loss surgery patients heightens concerns. No data have characterized these behaviors in adolescents-a gap, given adolescent alcohol use and heavy drinking are public health concerns. OBJECTIVE To examine alcohol use behavior in adolescents who underwent weight loss surgery across the first two post-operative years in comparison to nonsurgical adolescents. SETTING Five academic medical centers. METHODS Utilizing a prospective controlled design, adolescents undergoing weight loss surgery (n = 242) and nonsurgical adolescents with severe obesity (n = 83) completed the Alcohol Use Disorders Test. Analyses included 216 surgical (Mage = 17.1 ± 1.5, MBMI = 52.9 ± 9.3, 91.8% female, 67.6% white) and 79 nonsurgical participants (Mage = 16.2 ± 1.4, MBMI = 46.9 ± 6.1, 82.3% female, 53.2% white), with baseline data and at 12 or 24 months postoperatively. RESULTS The majority reported never consuming alcohol within the year before surgery (surgical, 92%; nonsurgical, 91%) or by 24 months (surgical, 71%; nonsurgical, 74%), when alcohol use disorder approached 9%. Among alcohol users at 24 months (n = 52 surgical, 17 nonsurgical), 35% surgical and 29% nonsurgical consumed 3+drinks on a typical drinking day; 42% surgical and 35% nonsurgical consumed 6+drinks on at least 1 occasion. For the surgical group, alcohol use changed as a function of older age (odds ratio [OR] = 2.47, P = .01) and lower body mass index (OR = .94, P<.001). Greater percent change in weight (0-24 mo) was associated with increased odds of alcohol use at 24 months (OR = 1.01, 95% confidence interval: 1.002-1.02). CONCLUSION Alcohol use was lower than national base rates. Alcohol use disorder rates and harmful consumption raise concerns given extant adult literature. Alcohol education focused on harm reduction (i.e., lower consumption, managing situations conducive to alcohol-related harm) and monitoring by healthcare providers as patients mature is indicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small studies suggest that subjects who have undergone bariatric surgery are at increased risk of suicide, alcohol and substance use disorders. This population-based cohort study aimed to assess the incidence of treatment for alcohol and substance use disorders, depression and attempted suicide after primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHODS All patients who underwent primary RYGB in Sweden between 2001 and 2010 were included. Incidence of hospital admission for alcohol and substance use disorders, depression and suicide attempt was measured, along with the number of drugs prescribed. This cohort was compared with a large age-matched, non-obese reference cohort based on the Swedish population. Inpatient care and prescribed drugs registers were used. RESULTS Before RYGB surgery, women, but not men, were at higher risk of being diagnosed with alcohol and substance use disorder compared with the reference cohort. After surgery, this was the case for both sexes. The risk of being diagnosed and treated for depression remained raised after surgery. Suicide attempts were significantly increased after RYGB. The adjusted hazard ratio for attempted suicide in the RYGB cohort after surgery compared with the general non-obese population was 2·85 (95 per cent c.i. 2·40 to 3·39). CONCLUSION Patients who have undergone RYGB are at an increased risk of being diagnosed with alcohol and substance use, with an increased rate of attempted suicide compared with a non-obese general population cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically. Obese individuals may undergo bariatric surgery to lose excessive body fat and mitigate obesity-related comorbidities. However, bariatric patients are particularly vulnerable to substance use problems. We conducted a review to examine the prevalence change and factors associated with substance use and determine the association between substance use and health status after weight loss among bariatric patients. METHODS We searched peer-reviewed articles published between January 1990 and January 2015 in several databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar) using different keywords combinations. Studies that focused on pre-surgery substance use only or without reported effect measurements were excluded. RESULTS Overall, 40 studies were included in the review. Preoperative history of substance use was a reliable correlate of postoperative substance use. The prevalence of postoperative alcohol use was higher among patients with preoperative history of alcohol use than those without. Postoperative prevalence of alcohol use ranged from 7.6% to 11.8%. No significant prevalence change in cigarette smoking from pre-to postoperative period was observed. Time effect was not observed on smoking or drug use prevalence, while an increase in alcohol consumption was inconsistent across studies. The proportion of new-onset substance users among bariatric patients after surgery ranged from 34.3% to 89.5%. CONCLUSION Substance use is associated with poor health among bariatric patients. Preoperative assessment and postoperative follow-up should include interventions to reduce relapse among users and prevent substance use initiation.

Abstract
Preoperative psychosocial assessment is the standard of care for patients seeking weight-loss surgery (WLS). However, the assessment procedure varies widely by surgery site. Comprehensive assessments can provide a wealth of information that assists both the patient and the treatment team, anticipate and prepare for challenges associated with extensive behavioral and lifestyle changes that are required postsurgery. In this review, we provide an overview of the purpose of the preoperative psychosocial assessment and domains to be included. Challenges commonly identified in the assessment are discussed, including maladaptive eating behaviors, psychiatric comorbidities, and alcohol use. Potential solutions and approaches to these challenges are provided. Additionally, patient populations requiring special consideration are presented to include adolescents, those with cognitive vulnerabilities, and aging adults.
