In 2012, an outstanding expert panel derived from IFSO-EC (International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity -European Chapter) and EASO (European Association for the Study of Obesity), composed by key representatives of both Societies including past and present presidents together with EASO's OMTF (Obesity Management Task Force) chair, agreed to devote the joint Medico-Surgical Workshop of both institutions to the topic of metabolic surgery as a pre-satellite of the 2013 European Congress on Obesity (ECO) to be held in Liverpool given the extraordinarily advancement made specifically in this field during the past years. It was further agreed to revise and update the 2008 Interdisciplinary European Guidelines on Surgery of Severe Obesity produced in cooperation of both Societies by focusing in particular on the evidence gathered in relation to the effects on diabetes during this lustrum and the subsequent changes that have taken place in patient eligibility criteria. The expert panel composition allowed the coverage of key disciplines in the comprehensive management of obesity and obesity-associated diseases, aimed specifically at updating the clinical guidelines to reflect current knowledge, expertise and evidence-based data on metabolic and bariatric surgery.

“…4 The most widely accepted psychiatric contraindications to bariatric surgery include active substance abuse, psychosis, uncontrolled mood or eating disorders, major life stressors, and history of problematic adherence, with disagreement about binge eating disorder. 11,25,[29][30][31] In sum, research and clinical experience suggest that, although the presence of a psychiatric disorder is not necessarily a contraindication to bariatric surgery, it may suggest the need for concomitant psychological intervention and additional interpersonal support pre-and postoperatively. Diabetes health care professionals can work collaboratively with psychologists to formulate creative, individualized, and empirically supported treatment plans for bariatric patients with diabetes.…”

In Brief Bariatric surgery has become a highly effective treatment intervention for morbidly obese patients struggling with comorbidities such as diabetes. Research has found that patients with certain psychosocial stressors may be at higher risk for postoperative complications, including weight regain. As a result, psychologists often play an integral role on an interdisciplinary bariatric team to aid with assessment and treatment of these patients by using empirically validated treatment recommendations to optimize outcomes.

“…Based on its predictive utility with other health conditions, the Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic (MBMD) came into favor for use with bariatric patients (Fabricatore, Crerand, Wadden, Sarwer, & Krasucki, 2006;Walfish, Vance, & Fabricatore, 2007). Within two years of its introduction to the bariatric field, the authors of the test provided adjusted norms for the bariatric population (Millon, Antoni, Millon, Minor, & Grossman, 2007).…”

How Do Mental Health Professionals Evaluate Candidates for Bariatric Surgery? Survey Results

Abstract: The assessment practices of mental health professionals who evaluate bariatric surgery candidates vary widely. No consensus is likely to emerge until large long-term studies identify consistent psychosocial predictors of poor postoperative outcomes.
