Patient Behaviors and Characteristics Related to Weight Regain After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify patient behaviors and characteristics related to weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB).

Background

There is considerable variation in the magnitude of weight regain after RYGB, highlighting the importance of patient-level factors.

Methods

A prospective cohort study of adults who underwent bariatric surgery in 6 US cities between 2006 and 2009 included presurgery, and 6-month and annual assessments for up to 7 years. Of 1573 eligible participants, 1278 (81%) with adequate follow-up were included (80% female, median age 46 years, median body mass index 46 kg/m). Percentage of maximum weight lost was calculated each year after weight nadir.

Results

Weight was measured a median of 8 (25th-75th percentile, 7-8) times over a median of 6.6 (25th-75th percentile, 5.9-7.0) years. β coefficients, that is, the mean weight regain, compared with the reference, and 95% confidence interval, are reported. Postsurgery behaviors independently associated with weight regain were: sedentary time [2.9% (1.2-4.7), for highest vs lowest quartile], eating fast food [0.5% (0.2-0.7) per meal/wk], eating when feeling full [2.9% (1.2-4.5)], eating continuously [1.6% (0.1-3.1)], binge eating and loss-of-control eating [8.0% (5.1-11.0) for binge eating; 1.6 (-0.1 to 3.3) for loss of control, vs neither], and weighing oneself ConclusionSeveral behaviors and characteristics associated with greater weight regain were identified, which inform integrated healthcare approaches to patient care and identify high-risk patients to improve long-term weight loss maintenance after RYGB.

Project description:Among a US cohort followed 5 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, cumulative incidence of marriage and separation/divorce were 18% among unmarried (N=614) and 13% among married (N=827) participants, respectively. Preoperative predictors of marriage included younger age, college degree, lower BMI and cohabitating or being separated (versus single).ObjectivesTo describe changes in marital status following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG).BackgroundSpousal encouragement and finding a life partner are self-reported motivators for undergoing bariatric surgery.MethodsThis study included 1441 US adults enrolled in a 6-center prospective cohort study who underwent RYGB or SG (2006-2009) and self-reported marital status preoperatively and annually postoperatively for ≤5 years. Time to change in marital status was analyzed with Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence and Cox proportional-hazard models.ResultsPreoperative, 57% of participants (79% female, median age 47 years, median body mass index [BMI] 47 kg/m2) were married, 5% cohabitating, 4% separated, 15% divorced, 2% widowed, and 17% always single. The 5-year cumulative incidence of marriage among unmarried participants (N = 614) was 18%. Cohabitating (hazard ratios [HR] = 5.25) or being separated (HR = 3.03) versus always single, younger age (HR = 1.69/10 years), having a college degree versus ≤high school (HR = 2.36), lower BMI (HR = 1.54/10kg/m2), and fewer depressive symptoms (HR = 1.47/10 Beck Depression Inventory points) preoperative independently predicted (P < 0.05) higher chance of marriage. The 5-year cumulative incidence of separation/divorce among married participants (N = 827) was 13%. Female sex (HR = 2.08), younger age (HR = 1.84/10 years), household income <$25,000 versus ≥$100,000 (HR = 2.48), smoking (HR = 1.76), and sexual desire ≥once/week versus never (HR = 2.12) preoperative independently predicted (P ≤ 0.05) separation/divorce.ConclusionsAmong a cohort of US adults, the majority did not change marital status within 5 years following RYGB or SG. Cumulative incidence of marriage and separation/divorce was 18% among unmarried and 13% among married participants, respectively. Several preoperative predictors of marriage and separation/divorce were identified.
