“…The present study, consistent with previous research (Magallares & Schomerus, ; Throsby, ), demonstrates the generally positive outcomes associated with WLS for persons who undergo the procedure. Fewer studies have focused on the contextual effects of WLS on patients’ partners and their relationships.…”

Background and purpose Weight‐loss surgery (WLS) is a popular means toward achieving weight loss. Numerous studies report on the psychological and physical benefits of the procedure. Patients who have supportive others often demonstrate improved outcomes as compared to those who may not have support. The present study examines relationship maintenance activities that may contribute to a couple's positive adjustment following WLS, along with relational views that may modify and evolve as patients continue to lose weight. Method Eleven heterosexual couples in which the female had WLS participated in in‐depth, semistructured interviews. A deductive method of analysis was used to categorize relationship maintenance activities; an inductive method was used to examine relational views. Conclusions Six types of relationship maintenance activities proved beneficial following WLS: (1) openness, (2) assurances, (3) food/meals as shared tasks, (4) joint activities, (5) antisocial, and (6) affection. In describing their relational views, participants spoke to the increasing independence, confidence, and self‐focus of those who had had WLS. A persistent fat identity was also reported. Implications for practice The findings can provide advanced practice nurses and other clinicians additional insight into, and strategies to assist, couples who have experienced, or will experience, WLS within their relationship.

“…However, surgery is often not recommended for adults with a BMI over 70 or for children and adolescents. Identified benefits include improvement in mental health and physical HRQOL [67], sexual functioning [68], reduction in mortality 5 to 10 years following surgery [64], weight loss and improvements in T2DM, HTN, and hyperlipidemia [65]. Fuchs and colleagues noted that there is a gender gap, with women being more likely to receive bariatric surgery; this gap is wider in blacks [69].…”

Overweight and Obesity: Prevalence, Consequences, and Causes of a Growing Public Health Problem

et al. 2015

This review considers a variety of perspectives on overweight and obesity (OW/obesity), including measurement and classification; prevalence and changes in prevalence in recent years; genetic, biological, medical, individual, and social correlates of OW/obesity; and treatment approaches. Despite increased attention, OW/obesity is escalating in prevalence worldwide, and the causes are exceedingly complex. A range of innovative studies, including basic research on gut microflora, dietary composition, pharmacologic interventions, and surgical procedures, is generating findings with potential for future prevention and treatment of OW/obesity. Social system changes such as school programs and the awareness of the roles of personal, family, health provider, and cultural experiences related to OW/obesity have also gained traction for vital prevention and treatment efforts over the past decade.

“…A meta-analysis published earlier this year pooled data from 21 studies reporting quality of life (QoL) outcomes using the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire before and after bariatric surgery [80]. Data from more than 2000 patients showed a significant improvement in the mental health component of SF-36 after bariatric surgery, with a very high mean effect size of −9.00 (95%CI −12.09 to −5.91).…”

Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery in Adolescents: a Path to Decrease Adult Cardiovascular Mortality

Obesity is a major health problem across all age groups and has escalated to pandemic proportions. The proportion of children with overweight or obesity has risen rapidly over recent decades, and it is recognized that most obese children become obese adults. Furthermore, BMI is the strongest CV risk factor to track from childhood into adulthood. As well as BMI, multiple CV risk factors begin in childhood and strong associations between these factors and BMI are evident. Clear evidence exists for the CV benefits of reversing obesity in adults, much of which examines the effects of bariatric surgery. The capacity of bariatric surgery to reliably achieve safe and lasting improvement in BMI is unparalleled, and the emerging evidence base in adolescent bariatric surgery has so far concurred. In the absence of effective alternatives, it appears that the increase in use of bariatric surgery in adolescents will continue.
