Abstract:

Some patients who have weight loss surgery (WLS) experience unsatisfactory weight loss and weight regain due to disordered eating, including binge-eating and loss of control eating (LOCE). Despite strong evidence that disordered eating is associated with poor Standardized screening and treatment procedures for WLS outcomes are not universally agreed upon. Our team used Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL to examine the literature in order to fill this gap. We concentrated on studies that looked at the diagnosis and management of disordered eating in WLS populations.
Key findings were found in our review pertaining to (a) diagnostic and screening instruments, such as self-report measures and semistructured interviews, and (b) psychotherapeutic therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other modalities. Although the results are not definitive, they do point to directions for further study that looks at the regular application of post-WLS screening and treatment procedures (including supplemental medication) for disordered eating.
