Abstract: Objective: Bariatric surgery results in significant weight loss in the majority of patients. Improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an equally important outcome; however, there are few studies reporting long-term (5 years) HRQoL outcomes. This study assesses the quality of evidence and effectiveness of surgery on HRQoL 5 years. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Review, EmBase, CINANL, PsycInfo, obesity conference abstracts, and reference lists were searched. Keywords were bariatric surgery, obesity, … Show more

“…Recent publications that also investigated effects on psychological scales for people undergoing bariatric surgery showed major improvements shortly after the operation (Castellini et al , ), but long‐term studies are ambiguous in their findings. On one hand, although mental health domains seem to improve less than physical HRQoL, they still show significantly better results than the ones found in a control group (Driscoll, Gregory, Fardy, & Twells, ). Another study reported that patients scored equally or even more poorly on depressive, anxiety and mental HRQoL scales in comparison to baseline values (Herpertz et al , ).…”

“…Several studies document the influence of weight loss in improving the quality of life 2 , 9 , 13 , 16 , 18 , 26 . This improvement was described by Hachem and Brennan 16 in a systematic review finding that bariatric surgery produced better results compared with other treatments for obesity, especially in the first two years after surgery.…”

“…The psychological aspects of HRQOL are of particular interest after bariatric surgery, with a recently published study showing that, despite significant improvements in psychological HRQOL 10 years after bariatric surgery, as much as 43% of patients reported low psychological HRQOL, compared to 16% in the general population . These findings are supported by other studies of long‐term follow‐up after bariatric surgery . Such post‐operative challenges do not seem to only relate to poor weight loss , but also to weight‐regain, malnutrition or worsening of comorbid diseases .…”

“… found in a sub‐group analysis on the outcome treatment effectiveness . Taken together, these findings may be applicable to obesity treatment, as the follow‐up of patients after bariatric surgery to a large degree fails to help those patients showing no improvement or even decline in HRQOL after bariatric surgery .…”
