Weight loss and quality of life after bariatric surgery: a study of 200 patients after vertical gastroplasty or adjustable gastric banding

Abstract: Background and objectives: Long term evaluation of bariatric surgery must include quality of life measurement. Methods: Quality of life (QoL) was evaluated using the original Moorehead-Ardelt questionnaire for 200 patients operated for massive obesity in a single centre between 1994 and 2003.

“…To our knowledge, in the literature, the social field of the HRQoL is explored by a multitude of different questions in different HRQoL questionnaires. This fact makes results difficult to compare and explains the lack of consensus in that field, results ranging from not significant to highly significant improvement in populations similar to ours [8,15,21]. …”

“…This was an expected evolution as this phenomenon has been widely described in the literature [2,7,8,9,14,15,16]. Significant improvement of HRQoL is the rule for all morbidly obese subjects who lost significant amounts of weight due to bariatric surgery [16,17].…”

“…They can be performed by laparoscopy or minilaparotomy (for vertical gastroplasty). Although VBG is now performed less frequently, weight loss from this procedure is good and it remains part of the armamentarium of some expert bariatric surgeons [8]. The vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a newer primarily restrictive procedure with significant weight loss in the short term.…”

“…Complications following surgery such band slippage, oesophageal dilatation and pouch dilatation have also been explored [29,30]. Data indicates individuals experiencing nausea and vomiting following LAGB have significantly lower weight loss compared to individuals who do not have this complication [31]. Quantitative studies generally indicate that LAGB has positive impacts on individuals, but highlights this is not the case for every individual undergoing surgery [32].…”
