Abstract
PURPOSE There is limited research about the prevalence of patients initiating metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) who also know someone who had MBS, referred to as having a social history of MBS. Evidence about the specific relationship of these individuals to the patient, how having a social history of MBS is associated with patients' choice of surgical procedure, and how having a social history of MBS is associated with patients' postoperative outcomes can be used to inform future preoperative assessments. The objective was to (a) define the number of people patients knew who had MBS and relationship to patient, (b) assess congruence between those who had MBS with patients' procedure selection, and (c) explore associations between social history of MBS and postoperative outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample included 123 patients who had MBS in 2021 (83.7% female; 44.7% Sleeve Gastrectomy, 55.3% Gastric Bypass). For up to 5 people, patients provided their relationship and surgical procedure, and completed the Family Assessment Device (FAD). Bivariate analyses assessed congruence in type of procedure, and social history of MBS with complications, readmissions, and %TWL. Three mixed multilevel models were conducted with (1) close friend, (2) coworker, and (3) close family history of MBS including the FAD on change in %TWL over 12 months with surgical procedure as a covariate. RESULTS Ninety-one percent of patients knew someone who had MBS, average 2.66±1.45. Patients reported a close friend (56.1%), close family member (43.9%), and coworker (19.5%) who had MBS. Patients with a close family member who had MBS and reported healthy vs impaired family functioning had greater %TWL over 12 months (p=0.016). Patients with a close friend who had MBS had less %TWL (p=0.015), and patients with a coworker who had MBS had greater %TWL (p=0.012), which did not change over time. CONCLUSION Patients with coworkers or close family members with healthy family functioning with a history of MBS had more weight loss, whereas those with close friends with a history of MBS had less weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Existing research has primarily focused on weight as the outcome of interest for bariatric surgery; however, patients frequently report other lifestyle and interpersonal surgery motivations and goals. Understanding the spectrum of bariatric surgery goals and motivations has important implications for enhancing patient-centered care and surgery outcomes. OBJECTIVES The current study characterized the nature of bariatric patient motivations and goals for surgery, described the extent to which motivations matched goals, and examined whether men and women differed in the specific motivations/goals described. SETTING Teaching hospital, United States METHODS: Data were obtained via retrospective chart review of bariatric patient responses to the clinic's standard open-ended questions about motivations and goals for bariatric surgery. A mixed method approach was used, including content analysis, to identify themes and χ2/t test analyses to test gender differences. RESULTS Surgery motivations and outcome goals were reflected by 8 overarching and overlapping themes. The most common motivations were related to general health and quality of life. The most common goals were to improve health/longevity and mobility. Over a quarter of patients showed no overlap between motivations and goals. Few gender differences were observed. CONCLUSION Findings underscore the importance of goals beyond weight loss, as well as the utility of helping patients shape their goals in accordance with goal-setting theories.
