“…Also, in another study by Conceição et al [22], weight loss regained was significantly higher in the COVID group compared to the non-COVID group at 3-year follow-up. In our study, we came to similar results; both EWL and [38], although EWL and TWL during the first year after sleeve gastrectomy were lower in the COVID group, the differences were not statistically significant (%EWL: 47.37 vs. 51.14, p value: 0.438; %TWL: 21.14% vs. 24.67, p value: 0.115). In general, although not all studies came to the same results, poorer weight outcomes were achieved through the pandemic.…”

“…In our study, we came to similar results; both EWL and TWL were significantly lower in the COVID group, showing poorer weight results at 1-year follow-up during the pandemic (%EWL: 72.22 vs. 93.04, %TWL: 30.13 vs. 38.64, both p values <0.001). However, in the study by Ruiz de Angulo et al [ 38 ], although EWL and TWL during the first year after sleeve gastrectomy were lower in the COVID group, the differences were not statistically significant (%EWL: 47.37 vs. 51.14, p value: 0.438; %TWL: 21.14% vs. 24.67, p value: 0.115).

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Success of Bariatric Surgeries in Patients with Severe Obesity

et al. 2022

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) pandemic may influence the weight outcomes of bariatric surgeries (BS). Here, we intended to compare the weight outcome of patients who underwent bariatric surgery before and during the pandemic time. Methods: In a retrospective, single-center study, the information of two groups of patients; first COVID-19_Group (n=51) consisted of those that underwent BS during the pandemic and completed a year of follow-up, second NonCOVID-19_Group included 50 patients who underwent BS and were followed up before the pandemic. All the patients’ anthropometric and obesity-related disease data were compared between groups. Results: Weight loss and the decrease of body mass index (BMI) one year after the surgery, as well as excess weight loss and total weight loss, were significantly higher in the NonCOVID-19_Group compared to the COVID-19_Group (p < 0.05). Although the rate of remission for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia was higher in the NonCOVID-19_ Group, the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion: We showed a significantly poorer weight outcome at the one-year follow-up of the BS during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic. These results need further investigations to determine the preventive measures and management by evaluating the associated factors.

Confinement During the COVID-19 Pandemic After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery—Associations Between Emotional Distress, Energy-Dense Foods, and Body Mass Index

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose To estimate the association of emotional distress with both consumption of energy-dense micronutrient-poor foods (EDF) and body mass index (BMI) and the association between EDF consumption and change in BMI, during COVID-19 pandemic in patients with prior bariatric surgery. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study applied an online structured questionnaire to 75 postoperative bariatric patients during the first Portuguese lockdown. Emotional distress was assessed trough the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and dietary intake was evaluated by Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Self-reported BMI prior to and at the end of confinement was used to compute BMI change. Pre-surgery BMI was computed from measured height and weight from clinical records. Results After adjustment for education, sex, time since surgery, pre-surgery BMI, and exercise practice, moderate/severe scores in HADS were significantly positively associated with consumption of EDF (ẞ = 0.799; 95% CI: 0.051, 1.546), but not with BMI. Daily EDF consumption significantly increased the odds of maintaining/increasing BMI (OR = 3.34; 95% CI: 1.18, 9.45), instead of decreasing it (reference). Sweets consumption was the only subcategory of EDF significantly positively associated with the odds of a worse outcome in BMI change (OR = 4.01; 95% CI: 1.13, 14.22). Conclusions Among postoperative bariatric patients, higher reported levels of emotional distress during confinement are associated with increased EDF consumption. Increased EDF consumption during confinement, particularly sweets, is associated with higher odds of bariatric patients not decreasing their BMI. Additional effort is needed to address inadequate lifestyle behaviors among these patients in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdown on Gastric Bypass Results at 1-Year Follow-up

et al. 2021

Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic caused a lockdown in many countries, which induced negative dietary habits and sedentary behavior. Studies suggest that weight loss of patients undergoing bariatric surgery was equally affected. The aim was to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on weight loss, obesity-related comorbidities, and nutritional status at 1-year follow-up after gastric bypass (GB). Methods Retrospective observational case–control study of patients undergoing primary GB in a tertiary referral Belgian center. COVID-19 period group was composed by those whose 1-year postoperative period was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown: from October 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020. The control group was composed of patients operated from October 1, 2018, to March 31, 2019. Electronic clinical records were reviewed searching: baseline characteristics, weight and comorbidities evolution, and biochemical values. Results A total of 47 patients in the COVID-19 period group and 66 in the non-COVID-19 period group were analyzed. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics. A reduced weight loss was observed at 1-year follow-up, in terms of percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) (82.4% [SD: 21.6] vs. 82.4% [SD: 21.6]; p : 0.043) and body mass index (BMI) (27.8 kg/m 2 [IQR: 25.8–30.0] vs. 26.2 kg/m 2 [IQR: 24.6–28.6]; p : 0.029) for COVID-19 period group vs. non-COVID-19 period group, respectively. There was a similar reduction of obesity-related comorbidities, without clinically significant differences in the nutritional follow-up. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown had an impact on weight loss at 1-year follow-up after gastric bypass. Graphical abstract
