“…Linking the substance-use disorder framework to the FA concept, the possibility of postoperative behavioural replacement of FA with other addictive behaviours should be taken into consideration (Blum et al, 2011;Lindgren et al, 2018), which bears several clinical implications. It has been argued that certain postoperative patients may seek alternative rewarding behaviours when they are unable to overeat, resulting in "cross-addiction" or "addiction transfer" (Bak, Seibold-Simpson, & Darling, 2016;Blum et al, 2011;Fowler, Ivezaj, & Saules, 2014;Koball et al, 2016;Mc Fadden, 2010;Mitchell et al, 2015;Yoder, MacNeela, Conway, & Heary, 2018). Fowler et al (2014) found an association between preoperative eating of food with addictive qualities (e.g., high-sugar/ low-fat) and new onset of substance use disorder after surgery.…”

“…Further, many patients show positive psychological outcomes after surgery such as improved self‐identified health status, increased self‐esteem, a decrease in the preoccupation with food and a decrease in depressive symptoms . Some patients, however, may have poorer psychological outcomes post‐surgery such as recurrence of binge eating, substance misuse and suicidality . Further, these patients may also show suboptimal weight loss or weight regain .…”

[11][12][13][14] Further, these patients may also show suboptimal weight loss or weight regain. 2,[14][15][16] In particular, differences in weight loss trajectories seem to appear between 6 and 12 months alongside the re-emergence of loss of control over eating at 6 months which has led to the suggestion that post-operative interventions are often too late.…”

Summary Research teams have argued that some bariatric patients require psychological input pre‐ and post‐surgery and that weight loss surgery should only be undertaken by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) that can provide psychological support. To date, no guidelines exist for the provision of psychological support pre‐ and post‐bariatric surgery. The authors were approached by British Obesity Metabolic Surgery Society (BOMSS) in September 2017 to produce guidelines for the provision of psychological support for patients pre‐ and post‐bariatric surgery. These guidelines were developed using seven stages: (a) review of evidence base; (b) expert input; (c) feedback from BOMSS delegates; (d) feedback from the special interest group; (e) service user feedback; (f) presentation to BOMSS council; and (g) presentation to the Association for the Study of Obesity. The guidelines describe two stepped care service models for the delivery of psychological support pre‐surgery and 6 to 9 months post‐surgery involving online resources, group workshops and one‐to‐one with a clinical psychologist. They are founded upon the following principles: (a) a living document to be modified over time; (b) flexible and pragmatic; (c) advisory not prescriptive; (d) broad based content; (e) skills based delivery. These guidelines are feasible for use across all services and should minimize patient risk and maximize patient health outcomes.

“…The nervous system has a remarkably similar response to the consumption of (i) drugs of abuse and (ii) overeating (Kenny, ; Volkow et al., ; Wang et al., ). As such, an “addiction transfer” model has been suggested, meaning that one may trade an “addiction” for food to an “addiction” to drugs or alcohol postsurgery (McFadden, ). In addition, as will be discussed further, certain WLS procedures (i.e., the RYGB procedure) can cause a heightened sensitivity to alcohol postoperatively (Hagerdorn et al., ; Klockhoff et al., ; Woodard et al., ).…”

Background Emerging research suggests that some bariatric surgery patients are at a heightened risk for developing substance use problems, especially alcohol use problems. Methods An exhaustive literature review was conducted in January 2015 to investigate all articles published that included data on post-operative alcohol use, alcohol use disorders, and illicit drug use among bariatric surgery patients. Results Twenty-three studies reported on alcohol and/or substance use among bariatric patients. Six studies longitudinally assessed alcohol use behaviors; three of these studies found an increase in alcohol use following surgery. Six studies were cross-sectional, and two studies assessed medical records. Five studies investigated the prevalence of admissions to substance abuse treatment, and three studies combined alcohol and drug use data in a single index. Six studies reported on illicit drug use and reported low-post-operative use. The studies' samples were primarily non-Hispanic white females in their upper 40s, and only 11 of the 23 studies utilized validated assessment instruments. Conclusions Studies employing longitudinal designs and large sample sizes indicate that bariatric patients who had the gastric bypass procedure are at an elevated risk for alcohol use problems post-operatively. Research also indicates that bariatric surgery patients might be over-represented in substance abuse treatment facilities. Risk factors for problematic post-operative alcohol use include regular or problematic alcohol use pre-surgery, male gender, younger age, tobacco use, and symptoms of attention deficient and hyperactivity disorder. As a whole, however, studies indicate bariatric surgery patients demonstrate a low prevalence of problematic alcohol use, and studies about gastric bypass patients are not entirely conclusive. Prospective, longitudinal studies are needed, utilizing standardized and validated alcohol assessment instruments that follow post-operative bariatric patients well beyond 2 years, and account for types of bariatric procedure. Finally, study samples with greater racial/ethnic diversity and wider age ranges are needed.
