Physical Function & Bodily Pain Scores: Negative Correlation with Future Wt Loss? l l r = - 0. 68 (rsq=0. 47) Increased physical limitations & bodily pain may predict better future weight loss.
Role Limitation due to Emotional & General Mental Health Sum of Scores: Positive Correlation with Future Wt Loss? l r = 0. 52 (rsq = 0. 27) l Suggests that poor mental health may carry a risk of poor future weight loss.
Additional Observations l l Patient who tend to lose weight well in the first year, tend to do better long term. Patients selected early in the programme tended to achieve less overall weight loss than those selected later in the programme. – Formally compare weight loss at 1 Y for patients who received surgery from 2005 -7 with those who received surgery in 2008.
2008 vs 2005 -2007 Surgeries l l Age: No difference SF 36 QOL: – – l l Physical Function Score: 65 (2005 -2007 group) vs 28 (2008 group): p=0. 0004 Addition of Behavioural Therapist at the end of 2007 @ the Surgical Obesity Service. Better selection of patient?

Roux en Y Gastric Bypass Surgery: Weight Loss l l ~13% fail to lose weight effectively (~20% in literaturef) Tendency to regain some weight at 2 Y. fj – – – Younger adults do better Increased perceived bodily pain & poor physical function prior to surgery – may do better. Decreased mental health affecting function – may do worse. * FSugerman et al. , Am. J. Surg. 1989. 157: 93; Brolin et al. , Surgery. 1989. 105: 337. j. Maclean et al. , Am. J.
