n The problem. . Weight regain. .

Weight regain n Roux en Y: n n n 23. 7% (2 yrs) (Da Silva et al, 2016) 23. 4% (mean 6 yrs) (Cooper et al, 2015) 41% (10 yrs) (Monaco-Ferreira & Leandro-Mehi, 2016) Sleeve: 59% (10 kg); 45% (15 kg); 13% (>25 kg) (10 yrs) (Felsenreich et al, 2016) SOS – 2 -10 yrs: 23. 4% -16. 1%
Predictors of weight regain n Pt vs surgical factors (Karmali et al, 2013) Multifactorial (Kushner & Sorensen, 2015) Behaviour / diet / psychological / physical / medical (Mcgrice & Don Paul, 2015)

n What actually happens? . . (Ogden et al, 2005; 2006; Ogden, Avenell and Ellis, 2011)
Cheating n ‘I found that if I chewed the food tremendously to a pulp I could actually get more of it, erm, quite frequently. . . I actually ate anything I felt like eating’
Rebelling n ‘I was really depressed about not having to eat initially. That really, really got to me. So much so that I rebelled and tried to eat stuff that I used to eat. (Laura)
Grazing n They say that you mustn’t drink in-between eating because it causes a flush but I would drink during eating. . . I mean I would have chinese half well quarter of the chinese at night, I’d get up in the middle of the night and have some more and then I would get up and the rest probably for breakfast’ (Ruth).
Substitute behaviours n “Post surgery, I definitely transferred to alcohol ‘cos I couldn’t eat… It was easier and easier to drink to fulfil the need in me. ”
n Why?
Emotional regulation n “If you’ve used food as your comfort, your security blanket, as your friend, then how do you deal with it if you can’t use that anymore? There’s no mechanism for me as to how I should deal with things apart from eating. ”

n Psychology and behaviour. . . .
Screening. . . n Binge eating n n n Drugs / alcohol / suicidality n n Mixed evidence Fair? Evidence? Fair? Ongoing (n=373): 70 referred /3 removed from pathway Not fair? (apart from minority)
Pre surgery work up. . n n n No real evidence Cost? Time? Good use of resources? But strong evidence for managing expectations and preparation pre surgery for other procedures Could be brief and simple and cheap? ?
Post surgery interventions. . For weight loss n n Meta analysis: improved EWL n Standardised mean difference 1. 6 %EWL No real benefit n (Rudolph and Hilbert, 2013)
Our study (Ogden et al, 2015) 160 140 120 100 80 baseline 60 12 months FU 40 20 0 control intervention
For weight regain n Remote HELP intervention (10 wks; n=11) n Reversed weight regain for 3 months (+5. 1%) Acceptance based intervention (10 wks; n=11) n Reversed / stopped regain (+3. 58 kg) CBT / DBT (6 wks; n=28) n Regain decreased (+1. 6 kg) n Just extra follow ups? n Could be useful? ?
