Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The present review describes the recent literature on treatment for binge-eating disorder (BED) in adults and youth, with a particular focus on research gaps, emerging treatments, and future research directions. RECENT FINDINGS Evidence supports the efficacy of several treatment modalities in adults, including self-help treatment, clinician-led psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy; the largest effect sizes have been found for psychotherapies, most of which were cognitive-behavioral in orientation. Adapted psychotherapies for youth also show promise but lack a robust body of evidence. Predictors, moderators, and mediators of treatment outcome remain poorly understood; individuals with BED continue to experience significant barriers to treatment; and research is needed to address suboptimal treatment response. Recent work has highlighted the potential of adaptive interventions and investigation of novel mechanisms to address these gaps. Research on BED treatment continues to grow, though critical questions must be answered to improve treatment efficacy across the lifespan.

Abstract
Rates of class III, or greater, obesity have risen among adolescents in the United States. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is a safe and effective treatment option for severe obesity among teenagers that results in improvements in cardiometabolic and psychosocial health. Despite its effectiveness, MBS remains largely underutilized and misconceptions exist among providers, parents/guardians, and adolescents. In addition, adolescents who have undergone MBS procedures report there are some topics they wish they had known more about before surgery and express concern that their unique needs are not understood. One potential solution to address these concerns includes preoperative educational materials tailored for adolescents. Currently, there are no standardized recommendations for preoperative educational materials. This editorial suggests the use of community-engaged research, and qualitative methodology, to consult with the primary stakeholder groups of preoperative adolescents, postoperative adolescents, parents/guardians, and clinicians to develop tailored materials that address the unique needs of adolescents undergoing surgical treatment for obesity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pediatric obesity is a growing concern globally. Patients with a history of overweight/obesity often experience stigmatization, especially in the healthcare setting, and are at increased risk of developing psychological comorbidities including eating disorders. This review appraises the most recent studies evaluating eating disorder risk in youth undergoing treatment for obesity, identifies gaps in the literature, and offers practical guidelines to pediatric providers regarding the management of this population. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies suggest that structured weight management programs may decrease the risk of and/or improve symptoms of certain eating disorders such as binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa. There is a paucity of research on some components of obesity management such as obesity pharmacotherapeutics and eating disorder risk. SUMMARY Children and adolescents with obesity are a psychologically vulnerable population with increased risk for the development of eating disorders. Further study is needed to evaluate general risk in the setting of specialized and primary care obesity interventions and develop appropriate screening and mitigation tools. Some evidence-based strategies can aid pediatric providers in both weight management and eating disorder prevention and risk assessment.

Abstract
Severe obesity in adolescence negatively impacts upon health and wellbeing. Lifestyle modifications do not usually achieve a sufficient degree or durability of weight loss to mitigate the risk of medical complications. In recent years, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), already a well-established treatment for adults with severe obesity, has emerged as an option in adolescents. Controlled studies in this age group have demonstrated substantial and sustained weight loss, improvements in associated health parameters, and a safety profile surpassing that observed in adult patients. This review aims to present published data on the results of MBS in adolescents with a focus on long-term outcomes. Indications for bariatric surgery and aspects of timing in the young person's life are also presented, along with safety considerations and factors influencing patient selection for surgery. We conclude, predominantly from short- to medium-term outcomes data, that MBS is a safe and valuable therapeutic option for adolescents with severe obesity. Considering the poor health and social wellbeing prognosis in this group, MBS appears to be underutilized. The need for continued research, multiprofessional specialist provision, coherent contemporary clinical guidelines, and routine long-term follow-up in adolescents undergoing MBS is highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) affects ∼10% of U.S. adolescents. Abdominal obesity is the most prevalent component and may indicate MetS risk in adolescents undergoing weight loss surgery. OBJECTIVES Assess MetS risk/severity and its association with abdominal obesity (measured by sagittal abdominal diameter, SAD) before and after weight loss surgery in adolescents to determine whether SAD predicts MetS risk in this population. SETTING Data were collected in the Teen Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) study at 5 sites (U.S. children's hospitals) performing weight-loss surgery in adolescents. The current study is a secondary analysis of these data. METHODS We examined data collected presurgery through 5 years postsurgery. MetS risk/severity was defined using the MetS severity z score (MetS-z), and MetS prevalence was determined using age-appropriate criteria. Association between SAD and MetS-z was evaluated with an adjusted linear mixed model. RESULTS Among 228 individuals (75% female, 72% White), mean age 16.5 years and body mass index (BMI) 53 kg/m2, 79% met MetS criteria pre-urgery. MetS-z (1.5) and SAD (32cm) were correlated (r = 0.6, P < .0001) presurgery, and both improved significantly at 6 months, 1, and 5 years postsurgery, remaining highly correlated at each timepoint. SAD predicted MetS-z (β = 0.118; 95% CI, 0.109, 0.127) after adjustment for age, visit, surgery type, and caregiver education. CONCLUSIONS Abdominal obesity is a key MetS risk marker in youth undergoing weight loss surgery. Both SAD and Met-z measures may be useful for MetS risk assessment and tracking postsurgery changes in this population, but more research is needed to identify effective lifestyle interventions targeting abdominal obesity.

Psychosocial predictors of problematic eating in young adults who underwent adolescent bariatric surgery. Obes Sci Pract 2022; 8:545-555.

Abstract
Introduction This study examined problematic eating and eating-related psychopathology among young adults who underwent adolescent bariatric surgery including concurrent and prospective associations with psychosocial factors and weight change. Methods VIEW point is a 6-year follow-up study within a prospective observational study series observing adolescents with severe obesity who had bariatric surgery (n = 139) or who presented to nonsurgical lifestyle modification programs (n = 83). Participants completed height/weight measurements, questionnaires, and diagnostic interviews. Regression analyses compared problematic eating across groups and examined Year 6 correlates (i.e., psychosocial factors and weight change) and baseline predictors (i.e., psychosocial factors) of eating-related psychopathology. Results Compared to the nonsurgical group, the surgical group reported lower eating-related psychopathology, objective binge eating, and grazing at Year 6. While chewing/spitting out and vomiting for weight/shape-related reasons were very infrequent for the surgical group, self-induced vomiting for other reasons (e.g., avoid plugging) was more common. For the surgical group, lower self-worth, greater internalizing symptoms, and higher weight-related teasing in adolescence predicted increased eating-related psychopathology in young adulthood. Year 6 eating-related psychopathology was concurrently associated with lower percent weight loss for the surgical group and greater percent weight gain for the nonsurgical group. Conclusion Undergoing adolescent bariatric surgery appears to afford benefit for problematic eating and eating-related psychopathology. Current findings suggest that the clinical intervention related to problematic eating and associated psychosocial concerns may be needed for young adults with obesity, regardless of surgical status.

Abstract
Introducción. La obesidad en la población pediátrica ha ido aumentando de manera progresiva y el manejo médico de la obesidad mórbida en esta población se ha mostrado insuficiente. El objetivo de este artículo fue describir el estado actual de la literatura científica publicada hasta abril 15 de 2021 sobre el impacto de la cirugía bariátrica en la población pediátrica.
Métodos. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura que evaluó dos bases de datos, donde se incluyeron revisiones sistemáticas, reportes de casos, series de casos y ensayos clínicos, publicados desde el 1 de enero de 2010 hasta el 15 de abril de 2021, en español, inglés y francés.
Resultados. Se incluyeron 56 documentos y 18 estudios clínicos, en los que se encontró que la cirugía bariátrica (bypass gástrico por Y de Roux, gastrectomía en manga, plicatura gástrica y banda gástrica) alcanzó una pérdida de peso significativa en el primer año, con un adecuado sostenimiento de dicha pérdida al quinto año, además de una resolución completa de las comorbilidades metabólicas y cardiovasculares en la mayoría de los pacientes.
Conclusión. La cirugía bariátrica se presenta como una alternativa eficaz en el manejo de la obesidad mórbida y sus complicaciones en el paciente pediátrico

Abstract
Mental health after bariatric surgery during adolescence has been little explored. This is a sensitive period in terms of self-image on which bariatric surgery could have negative effects because of the rapid and significant changes in morphology it induces. Previous studies have explored mental effects using questionnaires and only related to psychopathological disorders. The objective of our study was to complement these studies by exploring, via in-depth interviews, the adolescents' views on changes after bariatric surgery at psychological as well as socio-emotional levels. Fourteen adolescents with obesity were recruited in a French hospital 6-43 months after surgery. They participated in one-on-one interviews lasting an average of 45 minutes. A lexical analysis (using ALCESTE software© ) of their speech highlighted the most positive effects, particularly in terms of social relationships, physical activities, self-esteem and reduced stigma, along with less positive effects in terms of eating behaviour and skin. In terms of clinical implications, this study confirmed the value of bariatric surgery for adolescents at psychological and social levels and its contribution to their mental health. However, it also highlighted the importance of pre- and post-operative support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Little is known about the behavioral and psychosocial correlates of pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Given diet contributes to the development and persistence of NAFLD, we examined (1) the prevalence of unhealthy eating behaviors (UEB), (2) whether these varied by NAFLD or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) presence, and explored (3) the association of psychopathology with NAFLD. METHODS Before metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), adolescents (N = 159; Mage = 16.4; MBMI = 53.7 kg/m2, 73% girls, 62.3% white) self-reported presence/absence of 10 UEB (Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns-Revised, Night Eating Questionnaire, Look AHEAD). NAFLD and NASH presence was assessed by intraoperative liver biopsy. Height/weight, blood pressure, and blood specimens were obtained. A medical comorbidity index was created (prediabetes/diabetes, dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure). Psychopathology was assessed in a subgroup completing the Youth Self-Report (N = 98). RESULTS Binge eating disorder symptomatology was associated with higher odds of NAFLD whereas frequent eating out was associated with lower odds of NAFLD. Among those with NAFLD frequent eating out was associated with higher odds of NASH while nocturnal eating was associated with lower odds of NASH. Separate models identified internalizing psychopathology as associated with higher odds of NAFLD after controlling for demographics, number of UEB, and medical comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest potential phenotypical differences between adolescents presenting for MBS with/without NAFLD, with implications for behavioral/psychosocial targets for screening and intervention. Replication should occur in a sample with greater gender and ethnic diversity to improve generalizability. Understanding differences in the context of surgical weight loss and comorbidity resolution is indicated.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that share risk factors with obesity. This review outlines the context for concerns that paediatric obesity treatment presents a risk for eating disorder development. RECENT FINDINGS Most children and adolescents undergoing professionally supervised obesity treatment will have improvements or no change to eating disorder risk profiles. However, some may subsequently develop a clinical eating disorder, and this is proposed to relate to weight-focussed dietary interventions that are standard in paediatric obesity treatment. Nevertheless, dietary restraint may not be a strong predictor of eating disorder risk in the context of paediatric obesity treatment. Most international guidelines recommend weight maintenance or weight loss as a treatment goal, and weight loss is related to improvements in cardiometabolic health but not eating disorder risk in the short term. The risk of inducing or exacerbating an eating disorder during paediatric weight management is likely to be low; however, the serious consequences combined with increasing scale of obesity treatment, and lack of empirical evidence, are of concern. There is a need for further research to identify long-term predictors of eating disorder development for children and adolescents who seek treatment for their obesity.

Abstract
Obesity affects 158 million youth worldwide and is associated with psychosocial comorbidity. This review describes weight management options utilized by adolescents, including both self-directed weight loss and medically supervised obesity treatment interventions, and associated psychosocial impacts. A majority of adolescents with obesity attempt to manage weight on their own, primarily through attempting weight loss, sometimes with supplement use. Approaches such as these are associated with a degree of risk, disordered eating behaviors, and further weight gain. In contrast, medically supervised multicomponent interventions are associated with improved psychosocial health, including quality of life, self-esteem, and body image, and reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Few studies utilizing antiobesity pharmacotherapy have reported psychosocial outcomes, and trials of bariatric surgery show some early improvements with a need for sustained psychological support following surgery. Greater access to medically supervised treatment services is required to facilitate obesity care for adolescents. Early data on psychosocial health and obesity treatment offer promising outcomes; however, larger randomized controlled trials and longer-term data are needed. Future research should include both physiological and psychosocial outcomes to assess impact of interventions on the holistic health of adolescents with obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This review synthesizes literature on changes in binge eating (BE) and loss of control eating (LOC) following weight loss and the association between BE/LOC and weight loss in children and adolescents. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and PsycInfo. Eligible studies included all peer-reviewed journal articles of primary research that assessed BE/LOC and weight change following a weight-loss intervention in individuals under 18 years of age. RESULTS The 29 articles included studies on behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, and surgical interventions. Of the 14 studies that assessed the relationship between weight loss and BE/LOC at baseline, 4 showed that higher baseline BE/LOC was associated with less weight loss, whereas 10 showed no significant association. BE/LOC behaviors significantly decreased following weight-loss interventions in 20 of 21 studies. A greater decrease in BE/LOC was associated with improved weight loss in 4 of 9 studies that assessed this change. CONCLUSIONS Weight-loss interventions are associated with improved BE/LOC in youth with obesity. The persistence of BE/LOC symptoms may be associated with less weight loss. These results can aid in guiding future treatment for youth with BE/LOC seeking weight-loss treatment.

Abstract
Pediatric obesity is a multifaceted disease that can impact physical and mental health. It is a complex condition that interweaves biological, developmental, environmental, behavioral, and genetic factors. In most cases lifestyle and behavioral modification as well as medical treatment led to poor short-term weight reduction and long-term failure. Thus, bariatric surgery should be considered in adolescents with moderate to severe obesity who have previously participated in lifestyle interventions with unsuccessful outcomes. In particular, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is considered the most commonly performed bariatric surgery worldwide. The procedure is safe and feasible. The efficacy of this weight loss surgical procedure has been demonstrated in pediatric age. Nevertheless, there are barriers at the patient, provider, and health system levels, to be removed. First and foremost, more efforts must be made to prevent decline in nutritional status that is frequent after bariatric surgery, and to avoid inadequate weight loss and weight regain, ensuring successful long-term treatment and allowing healthy growth. In this narrative review, we considered the rationale behind surgical treatment options, outcomes, and clinical indications in adolescents with severe obesity, focusing on LSG, nutritional management, and resolution of metabolic comorbidities.

Cornejo-Pareja I, Molina-Vega M, Gómez-Pérez AM, Damas-Fuentes M, Tinahones FJ. Factors Related to Weight Loss Maintenance in the Medium-Long Term after Bariatric Surgery: A Review. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10081739. [PMID: 33923789 PMCID: PMC8073104 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10081739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Revised: 03/27/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite bariatric surgery being the most effective treatment for obesity, some individuals do not respond adequately, especially in the long term. Identifying the predictors of correct weight maintenance in the medium (from 1 to 3 years after surgery) and long term (from 3 years and above) is of vital importance to reduce failure after bariatric surgery; therefore, we summarize the evidence about certain factors, among which we highlight surgical technique, psychological factors, physical activity, adherence to diet, gastrointestinal hormones or neurological factors related to appetite control. We conducted a search in PubMed focused on the last five years (2015–2021). Main findings are as follows: despite Roux-en-Y gastric bypass being more effective in the long term, sleeve gastrectomy shows a more beneficial effectiveness–complications balance; pre-surgical psychological and behavioral evaluation along with post-surgical treatment improve long-term surgical outcomes; physical activity programs after bariatric surgery, in addition to continuous and comprehensive care interventions regarding diet habits, improve weight loss maintenance, but it is necessary to improve adherence; the impact of bariatric surgery on the gut–brain axis seems to influence weight maintenance. In conclusion, although interesting findings exist, the evidence is contradictory in some places, and long-term clinical trials are necessary to draw more robust conclusions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess associations between loss of control (LOC) eating and health outcomes among adolescents undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery. METHODS A total of 234 adolescents were studied before and up to 6 years after surgery in a prospective, observational cohort design. Adolescents provided self-reports of LOC eating, pain severity, sleep quality, polycystic ovary syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and medication usage and objective measures of fasting glucose, serum insulin, glycohemoglobin A1c , cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure. χ2 tests, Wilcoxon rank sums, and generalized linear mixed models were used to assess concurrent and prospective associations between LOC eating and health indicators. RESULTS LOC eating presented in 32.5% of adolescents before surgery and was positively associated with sleep disturbances and psychiatric medication usage. After surgery, LOC eating presented in 7.9% to 14.6% of participants and was correlated with improved low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and greater back pain. LOC eating was inversely associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol at the next consecutive time point. CONCLUSIONS LOC eating was unexpectedly associated with improved low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in adolescents undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery. Deleterious effects of LOC eating on obesity-related health conditions, aside from back pain, were not detected. Metabolic and other weight-independent health benefits of surgery may persist postoperatively despite LOC eating and associated weight regain.

Abstract
Childhood obesity can lead to comorbidities that cause significant decrease in health-related quality of life and early mortality. Recognition of obesity as a disease of polygenic etiology can help deter implicit bias. Current guidelines for treating severe obesity in children recommend referral to a multidisciplinary treatment center that offers metabolic and bariatric surgery at any age when a child develops a body mass index that is greater than 120% of the 95th percentile. Obesity medications and lifestyle counseling about diet and exercise are not adequate treatment for severe childhood obesity. Early referral can significantly improve quality and quantity of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is well established in adults as the most effective tool for sustained weight loss and reduction of obesity-related co-morbidities, and is an emerging option for adolescents in whom conservative approaches have failed. Narratives are vital in understanding the motivating reasons and psychosocial profiles of adolescents considering bariatric surgery during a developmental period of evolving self-concept, body image sensitivity, peer pressure, and increased opportunity for risky behaviors. OBJECTIVES To explore preoperative adolescent patient perspectives on their decision to pursue bariatric surgery, anticipated physical and psychosocial effects, and preparation process. SETTINGS The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. METHODS We conducted 14 semi-structured interviews with adolescents (16-18 yr old) 2-4 months before bariatric surgery. A theoretical thematic analysis was conducted with 3 independent reviewers (interrater reliability, Cronbach's α= .81) and conflicts were resolved through discussion. RESULTS Patients' perspectives are captured in 4 themes: motivation for surgery, effects on health and habits, psychosocial changes, and support systems during preparation. Participants perceived surgery as a tool but not a solution for weight loss. Most were motivated for health and daily functional improvement rather than aesthetic reasons, and some anticipated improved social interactions while maintaining their self-identity. Participants were selective in sharing news of their surgery, and received varying levels of support from families, friends, and healthcare teams. CONCLUSION Adolescents seem generally prepared for and informed about surgery, with expectations for weight loss and psychosocial improvements, although uncertainty and contradictory thoughts were prevalent. Insights provided by these adolescent patients will help optimize bariatric surgery assessments and support from clinical teams and inform preoperative education for future patients and families.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has become increasingly common due to the worldwide obesity epidemic. A shift from open to laparoscopic surgery, specifically, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), has occurred in the last two decades because of the low morbidity and mortality rates of LSG. Although LSG is a promising treatment option for patients with morbid obesity due to restrictive and endocrine mechanisms, it requires modifications for a subset of patients because of weight regain and tough complications, such as gastroesophageal reflux, strictures, gastric leak, and persistent metabolic syndrome., Revision surgeries have become more and more indispensable in bariatric surgery, accounting for 7.4% in 2016. Mainstream revisional bariatric surgeries after LSG include Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, repeated sleeve gastrectomy, biliopancreatic diversion, duodenal switch, duodenal-jejunal bypass, one-anastomosis gastric bypass, single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SAID) and transit bipartition. This review mainly describes the revisional surgeries of LSG, including the indication, choice of surgical method, and subsequent effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have investigated if bariatric surgery candidates with binge eating disorder (BED) are at risk for suboptimal postoperative weight loss. The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between binge eating diagnosed preoperatively and weight loss after bariatric surgery. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, LILACS, and other specialized databases were searched on August 2020. Clinical trials and observational studies including individuals who had undergone any type of bariatric surgical treatment with preoperative evaluation of BED and at least one postoperative measure of weight were initially selected. Four reviewers independently screened for eligibility. The mean difference was calculated using the random-effects model. RESULTS Nineteen studies, comprising 3223 participants (80.25% women; median age 41 years), met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. At 6 months postoperative, the percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) was not significantly different between BED and non-BED groups [6 studies, 914 participants: - 0.75% (95% CI, - 2.79 to 1.29; I2 = 0%)], even when analyzing only those three studies that included gold standard assessment tools. No significant differences were found at 12, 24, 36, or 60 months. CONCLUSIONS Pre-bariatric BED seems to have little or no influence on weight loss after surgery. However, many questions remain unanswered because of the use of different measures across studies. The heterogeneity among studies emphasizes the importance of investigators using the same assessment measures.

Abstract
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is one of the 25 syndromic forms of obesity, in which patients present-in addition to different degrees of obesity-intellectual disability, endocrine disturbs, hyperphagia and/or other signs of hypothalamic dysfunction. In front of a severe/extreme obesity and the failure of non-invasive treatments, bariatric surgery is proposed as a therapeutic option. The complexity of the clinical condition, which could affect the long-term effects of bariatric surgery, and the frequent association with a mild to severe intellectual disability raise some ethical concerns in the treatment of obese PWS adolescents. This article analyses these issues referring to the principles of healthcare ethics: beneficence/non-maleficence (proportionality of treatments; minimisation of risks); respect of autonomy; justice. Based on these principles, three hypothetical scenarios are defined: (1) obese PWS adolescent, capable of making an autonomous decision; (2) obese PWS adolescent with a severe intellectual disability, whose parents agree with bariatric surgery; (3) obese PWS adolescent with a life-threatening condition and a severe intellectual disability, whose parents do not agree with bariatric surgery. The currently available evidence on efficacy and safety of bariatric surgery in PWS adolescents with extreme or severe obesity and the lack of adequate long-term follow-up suggests great caution even in a very life-threatening condition. Clinicians must always obtain a full IQ assessment of patients by psychologists. A multidisciplinary team is needed to analyse the clinical, psychological, social and ethical aspects and organise support for patient and parents, involving also the hospital ethical committee or, if necessary, legal authorities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some patients fail to maintain weight loss after bariatric surgery. Weight regain (WR) disturbs the patients due to possible reappearance of obesity-related comorbidities. This study aimed to assess WR 5 years after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 100 adults who underwent LGS. The percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was recorded. WR was defined as an increase of at least 10% of the lowest postoperative weight. Patients with WR were subjected to CT gastric volumety. Eating behavior was assessed by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-Revised 18-Items (TFEQ-R18). RESULTS Preoperative comorbidities improved in 89.5% of the patients. Twenty-five females (32.5%) got pregnant within 3 years after surgery. Age, maximum weight loss, and uncontrolled and emotional eating scales of the TFEQ-R18 were independently affecting %EWL. Also, pregnancy negatively affected %EWL. Fourteen patients regain weight: 11 females and three males. CT volumetry of the 14 patients showed a median stomach volume of 515 mL (range 172-1066 mL). CT estimated gastric volume was negatively correlated with % EWL (r = - 0.674, p = 0.008). Patients who developed WR were significantly older (p = 0.006), with lower maximum weight loss, and having higher scores of uncontrolled and emotional eating scales of TFEQ-R18. CONCLUSION Medium-term postsurgical weight regain and unsuccessful weight loss in patients who had undergone LSG is associated with older age, maladaptive eating behavior, larger residual stomach, and pregnancy.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome, by definition, is not a disease but is a clustering of individual metabolic risk factors including abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. These risk factors could dramatically increase the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The reported prevalence of the metabolic syndrome varies, greatly depending on the definition used, gender, age, socioeconomic status, and the ethnic background of study cohorts. Clinical and epidemiological studies have clearly demonstrated that the metabolic syndrome starts with central obesity. Because the prevalence of obesity has doubly increased worldwide over the past 30 years, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome has markedly boosted in parallel. Therefore, obesity has been recognized as the leading cause for the metabolic syndrome since it is strongly associated with all metabolic risk factors. High prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is not unique to the USA and Europe and it is also increasing in most Asian countries. Insulin resistance has elucidated most, if not all, of the pathophysiology of the metabolic syndrome because it contributes to hyperglycemia. Furthermore, a major contributor to the development of insulin resistance is an overabundance of circulating fatty acids. Plasma fatty acids are derived mainly from the triglycerides stored in adipose tissues, which are released through the action of the cyclic AMP-dependent enzyme, hormone sensitive lipase. This review summarizes the latest concepts in the definition, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome, as well as its preventive measures and therapeutic strategies in children and adolescents.

Abstract
AIM To examine the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and related post-surgical weight loss in adolescents with severe obesity seeking bariatric surgery. METHODS The study population included 84 adolescents (age 13-19 years; 44 males, 40 females) with severe obesity who sought bariatric surgery at the Sheba Medical Centre in Israel during the years 2011-2017. Anthropometric and clinical data were collected from medical records. A subgroup of 20 participants filled questionnaires that evaluated ADHD-like symptoms, eating behaviours and quality of life. Data on adolescents that ultimately underwent surgery (n = 45) were also obtained. RESULTS The prevalence of ADHD was 28.6% in adolescents seeking bariatric surgery, much higher than that of the general adolescent population of Israel (17.1%, P < .001). There were no significant differences in reductions of weight, body mass index, body mass index standard deviation scores and body fat percent between participants with or without ADHD. In the subgroup that filled questionnaires, higher scores on ADHD-Rating Scale at baseline were associated with greater excess weight loss. CONCLUSION The prevalence of ADHD in adolescents seeking bariatric surgery was very high. Diagnosed ADHD was not related to post-surgical weight loss, whereas baseline ADHD-related behaviour was associated with higher post-surgical weight loss.

Abstract
As metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) increasingly becomes a treatment of choice for adolescents with severe obesity, there is a need to understand how to deliver pre- and postoperative care in ways that maximize long-term safety and efficacy. This article describes major pre- and postoperative goals, lifestyle modification targets, and, when necessary, pharmacologic management strategies for adolescents undergoing MBS. Three categories of evidence were used-studies of pre- and postoperative interventions and factors influencing MBS outcomes in adolescents, studies of pre- and postoperative associations and interventions in adults, and studies of non-surgical weight management applicable to adolescents pursuing MBS. Finally, priority areas for future research within this topic are identified.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for severe obesity in adolescence. Nevertheless, much remains to be understood regarding the impact of surgery on mental health, eating behaviors, and cognition. We review the findings related to mental health both before and after surgery as well as long-term changes in psychopathology, including suicide risk. Overall, adolescents with and without a history of psychopathology lose weight at similar rates. At the same time, there is an increased risk for suicide that requires further study. Regarding alcohol and substance use, this population reports lower rates of consumption than age related non-obese cohorts. Nevertheless the impact of altered anatomy and metabolism on alcohol ingestion in a population at risk for substance use is concerning. Eating behaviors, specifically loss of control eating, are discussed. Finally, we include discussion of the cognitive changes occurring perioperatively and considerations for adolescents with cognitive impairments. Clinical recommendations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract
The selection criteria, safety, and efficacy of bariatric surgery are well established in adults but are less well defined for severely obese adolescents. The number of severely obese adolescents who could benefit from weight loss surgery is increasing, although referral rates have plateaued. Surgical options for these adolescents are controversial and raise several questions. Recent studies, including the prospective Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery Study and the Adolescent Morbid Obesity Surgery Study, help answer these questions. Early bariatric surgical intervention improves body mass index but, more importantly, improves cardiovascular and metabolic co-morbidities of severe obesity. A review of the medical, psychosocial, and economic risks and benefits of bariatric surgery in severely obese adolescents is a step toward improving the management of a challenging and increasing population. We describe the current knowledge of eligibility criteria, preoperative evaluation, surgical options, outcomes, and referral barriers of adolescents for bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extant literature warns of elevated suicide risks in adults postbariatric surgery, making understanding risks for adolescent patients imperative. OBJECTIVES To examine prevalence and predictors/correlates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) in adolescents with severe obesity who did/did not undergo bariatric surgery from presurgery/baseline to 4 years postsurgery. SETTING Five academic medical centers. METHODS Using a prospective observational design, surgical adolescents (n = 153; 79% female, 65% white, mean [M]age = 17 yr, Mbody mass index[BMI] = 52 kg/m2) and nonsurgical comparators (n = 70; 80% female, 54% white, Mage = 16 yr, MBMI = 47 kg/m2) completed psychometrically sound assessments at presurgery/baseline and postsurgery years 2 and 4 (year 4: n = 117 surgical [MBMI = 38 kg/m2], n = 56 nonsurgical [MBMI = 48 kg/m2]). RESULTS For the surgical group, rates of STBs were low (year 2 [1.3%-4.6%]; year 4 [2.6%-7.9%], similar to national base rates. Groups did not differ on a year 4 postsurgical STBs (post-STBs) composite (post-STBs: ideation/plan/attempt; n = 18 surgical [16%], n = 10 nonsurgical [18%]; odds ratio = .95, P = .90). For the surgical group, predictors/correlates identified within the broader suicide literature (e.g., psychopathology [P < .01], victimization [P < .05], dysregulation [P < .001], drug use [P < .05], and knowing an attemptor/completer [P < .001]) were significantly associated with post-STBs. Surgery-specific factors (e.g., percent weight loss, weight satisfaction) were nonsignificant. Of those reporting a lifetime attempt history at year 4, only a minority (4/13 surgical, 3/9 nonsurgical) reported a first attempt during the study period. Of 3 decedents (2 surgical, 1 nonsurgical), none were confirmed suicides. CONCLUSIONS The present study indicates that undergoing bariatric surgery in adolescence does not heighten (or lower) risk of STB engagement across the initial 4 years after surgery. Suicide risks present before surgery persisted, and also newly emerged in a subgroup with poorer psychosocial health.

Naturalistic, multimethod exploratory study of sleep duration and quality as predictors of dysregulated eating in youth with overweight and obesity. Appetite 2019; 146:104521.

Abstract
Although poor sleep has been found to adversely impact eating and weight regulation in youth, past research is limited by retrospective reporting and/or non-naturalistic designs. We investigated the feasibility of combining three momentary, ecologically valid approaches to assessing sleep and eating behavior, and associations between these constructs, among youth (aged 8-14y) with overweight/obesity (n = 40). Participants completed 14 overlapping days of actigraphy assessment and smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) of eating behavior, of which 3 days also included computerized, self-guided 24-h dietary recall. Feasibility of completing measures concurrently was evaluated by generating frequencies of compliance. Associations between sleep indices and next-day eating behavior were examined via generalized estimating equations. Of 29 participants who provided EMA and 24-h recall data that aligned with previous night actigraphy data, both EMA and sleep data were available on an average of 8.6 out of 14 possible days, and both 24-h recall and sleep data on an average of 2.7 out of 3 possible days. Each additional hour of sleep was associated with consuming fewer calories from solid fats, alcohol, and added sugars (b = 0.70; p = .04). Combining naturalistic, momentary assessments of sleep and eating behavior appears to be acceptable in youth. Larger experimental studies are needed to further understand associations between sleep parameters and eating behavior.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review describes (1) the clinical assessment of pediatric patients with severe obesity, including a summary of salient biological, psychological, and social factors that may be contributing to the patient's obesity and (2) the current state of treatment strategies for pediatric severe obesity, including lifestyle modification therapy, pharmacotherapy, and metabolic and bariatric surgery. RECENT FINDINGS Lifestyle modification therapy alone is insufficient for achieving clinically significant BMI reduction for most youth with severe obesity and metabolic and bariatric surgery, though effective and durable, is not a scalable treatment strategy. Pharmacological agents in the pipeline may 1 day fill this gap in treatment. Treatment of severe pediatric obesity requires a chronic care management approach utilizing multidisciplinary teams of health care providers and multi-pronged therapies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The goal of this paper was to extend the prior literature on eating pathology following bariatric surgery by highlighting themes in data published over the past 3 years and identifying limitations and future directions for research. RECENT FINDINGS Changes in eating pathology after bariatric surgery remain consistent with previous research. Specifically, diagnostic prevalence rates and incidence of related behaviors generally decrease following surgery. However, some research supports that these factors increase and/or remit over time following surgery, and that they subsequently have a negative impact on weight loss outcomes. While recent findings have extended knowledge on eating pathology following bariatric surgery, the overall body of literature is still relatively limited. Additional research is needed, including work focusing on the standardization of eating pathology definitions, development/validation of standardized eating pathology instruments for bariatric surgery patients, and predictors of risk for continued or new onset eating pathology following surgery.

Abstract
Background/Objectives: Weight-related quality of life (WRQOL) and generic health-related quality of life (HRQOL) have been identified as important patient reported outcomes for obesity treatment and outcome research. This study evaluated patterns of WRQOL and HRQOL outcomes for adolescents at 24-months post-bariatric surgery relative to a non-surgical comparator sample of youth with severe obesity, and examined potential weight-based (e.g., BMI, weight dissatisfaction) and psychosocial predictors and correlates of these outcomes. Subjects/Methods: Multi-site data from 139 adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery (Mage=16.9; 79.9% female, 66.2% White; MBody Mass Index [BMI]= 51.5kg/m2) and 83 comparators (Mage=16.1; 81.9 % female, 54.2% White; MBMI= 46.9kg/m2) were collected at pre-surgery/baseline, 6-, 12-, and 24-months post-surgery/baseline with high participation rates across time points (>85%). Self-reports with standardized measures of WRQOL/HRQOL as well as predictors/covariates (e.g., weight dissatisfaction, social support, peer victimization, family dysfunction, loss of control eating, self-worth, and internalizing symptoms) were obtained. Growth curve models using structural equation modeling examined WRQOL/HRQOL over time and linear regressions examined predictors and correlates of WRQOL/HRQOL outcomes. Results: Significant improvement in WRQOL and Physical HRQOL, particularly in the first post-operative year with a leveling off subsequently, was found for the surgical group relative to comparators, but with no significant Mental HRQOL change. At 24 months, the surgical group had signficantly greater WRQOL/HRQOL across most subscales. Within the surgical group at 24 months, weight-based variables were signficantly associated with WRQOL and Physical HRQOL, but not Mental HRQOL. Mental HRQOL was associated with greater internalizing symptoms and loss of control eating. Conclusions: For adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery, most clinically meaningful changes in WRQOL and Physical HRQOL occurred early post-operatively, with weight-based variables as the primary drivers of 24-month levels. In contrast, expectations for Mental HRQOL improvement following surgery should be tempered, with 24-month levels significantly associated with psychosocial rather than weight-based correlates.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to characterize prevalence, change, predictors, and correlates of psychopathology and associations with weight loss in adolescents with severe obesity 24 months after weight loss surgery (WLS) utilizing a controlled multisite sample design. METHODS Adolescents undergoing WLS (n = 139) and nonsurgical comparisons with severe obesity (NSComp; n = 83) completed validated questionnaires assessing psychopathology and potential predictors and correlates at presurgery/baseline and 24 months postoperatively/follow-up. RESULTS At 24 months, 34.7% of WLS and 37.7% of nonsurgical comparisons were categorized as "symptomatic" (Youth Self-Report ≥ borderline on at least one DSM scale). The majority maintained their symptomatic or nonsymptomatic status from baseline to 24 months postbaseline. Remission of symptoms was more common than the development of new symptomatology at 24 months. Beyond demographics, separate models of baseline predictors and concurrent correlates of 24-month psychopathology identified baseline psychopathology and loss of control (LOC) eating as significant. Alcohol use disorder (AUD) and LOC eating emerged as correlates in the concurrent model. For the WLS group, preoperative, postoperative, and change in symptomatology were not related to 24-month percent weight loss. CONCLUSIONS At 2 years, approximately one in three adolescents were symptomatic with psychopathology. Maintenance of symptomatic/nonsymptomatic status over time or remission was more common than new incidence. Although symptomatology was not predictive of surgical weight loss outcomes at 2 years, preoperative psychopathology and several other predictors (LOC eating) and correlates (LOC eating, AUD) emerged as signals for persistent mental health risks, underscoring the importance of pre- and postoperative psychosocial monitoring and the availability of adjunctive intervention resources.
