“…Finally, bariatric surgery could also improve QoL in obese people by means of the educational programs provided to patients which reinforce self-confidence and self-esteem (Dymek et al, 2002). Gastric bypass may contribute to the control of previous eating behavioural disorders (Boan et al, 2004).…”

Weight loss and quality of life after bariatric surgery: a study of 200 patients after vertical gastroplasty or adjustable gastric banding

et al. 2007

Background and objectives: Long term evaluation of bariatric surgery must include quality of life measurement. Methods: Quality of life (QoL) was evaluated using the original Moorehead-Ardelt questionnaire for 200 patients operated for massive obesity in a single centre between 1994 and 2003. QoL and physical data were obtained by retrospective mail questionnaire. Surgical procedures were vertical-banded gastroplasty according to Mason (VBGM) and adjustable gastric banding (AGB) in 61 and 39% of patients, respectively. The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional outcome and QoL according to the procedure. Results: Overall, the body mass index (BMI) decreased from 5078 kg/m 2 before surgery to 35.277.5 kg/m 2 at the time of the questionnaire. The percentage of weight loss was 28.8712.2%. In the group treated with VBGM, the mean initial weight (P ¼ 0.003) and the percentage of weight loss (Po0.001) were significantly higher, and the QoL was better (P ¼ 0.003) than in the group treated with AGB. On the basis of the time spent since surgery, a regular weight loss was observed during the first 5 years, whereas weight subsequently increased over the five following years. Similarly, the total QoL score gradually improved during the first 5 years and worsened thereafter. However, it remained better than before surgery. A linear regression analysis showed a positive correlation between the percentage of weight loss and the QoL score (Po0.001).Conclusions: This study suggests that the bariatric surgery, particularly the VBGM technique, improved the QoL of obese patients, at least in the first 5 years following surgery.

“…The Questionnaire is a validated and reliable instrument in obesity research and eating disorders and was already applied in LAGB, VBG and RYGBP [11][12][13][14][15][16]. This questionnaire measures three dimensions of eating behavior: cognitive restraint of eating, disinhibition of eating, and susceptibility to hunger.…”

“…The self-report Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) was already applied to assess the impact of LAGB, VBG and RYGBP [11][12][13][14][15][16] on three dimensions of eating behavior: cognitive restraint of eating, disinhibition of eating and susceptibility of hunger. In laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), another restrictive bariatric procedure [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], the TFEQ as a validated and reliable instrument has not been used for the evaluation of the impact on eating behavior so far.…”

“…Furthermore, obesity may have an impact on key aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQOL), with research showing that obese patients seeking bariatric surgery are more likely to be impaired in terms of HRQOL than are nontreatment-seeking obese patients [2][3][4][5][6][7]. In this context, the advent of anti-obesity medications and surgical treatments [8,9] has shown that weight reduction is associated with an improvement in HRQOL [10,11], and therefore, its assessment has become important. Although generic HRQOL assessment instruments are available, the use of obesity-specific assessment tools is recommended, since they are capable of assessing particular aspects of quality of life [12].…”

Psychometric Evaluation of the IWQOL-Lite (Spanish Version) When Applied to a Sample of Obese Patients Awaiting Bariatric Surgery

Background Obesity may have an impact on key aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). In this context, the Impact of Weight Quality of Life (IWQOL) questionnaire was the first scale designed to assess HRQOL. The aim of the present study was twofold: to assess HRQOL in a sample of Spanish patients awaiting bariatric surgery and to determine the psychometric properties of the IWQOL-Lite and its sensitivity to detect differences in HRQOL across groups. Methods Participants were 109 obese adult patients (BMI≥ 35 kg/m 2 ) from Barcelona, to whom the following measurement instruments were applied: IWQOL-Lite, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, Brief Symptom Inventory, and self-perception items.Results Descriptive data regarding the IWQOL-Lite scores obtained by these patients are reported. Principal components analysis revealed a five-factor model accounting for 72.05% of the total variance, with factor loadings being adequate for all items. Corrected item-total correlations were acceptable for all items. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were excellent both for the subscales (0.88-0.93) and the total scale (0.95). The relationship between the IWQOLLite and other variables supports the construct validity of the scale. Finally, sensitivity analysis revealed large effect sizes when comparing scores obtained by extreme BMI groups. Conclusions This is the first study to report the application of the IWQOL-Lite to a sample of Spanish patients awaiting bariatric surgery and to confirm that the Spanish version of the instrument has adequate psychometric properties.
