ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Outcomes of long-term (5-10-year) weight loss have not been investigated thoroughly and the role of pre-operative weight loss on long-term weight loss, among other factors, are unknown. Our regional bariatric service introduced a 12 week intensive pre-operative information course (IPIC) to optimise pre-operative weight loss and provide education prior to bariatric surgery. The present study determines the effect of pre-operative weight loss and an intense pre-operative information course (IPIC), on long-term weight outcomes and sustained weight loss post-bariatric surgery.METHODS:
Data were collected prospectively from a bariatric center (2008-2022). Excess weight loss (EWL) ≥ 50% and ≥ 70% were considered outcome measures. Survival analysis and logistic regression identified variables associated with overall and sustained EWL ≥ 50% and ≥ 70%.RESULTS:
Three hundred thirty-nine patients (median age, 49 years; median follow-up, 7 years [0.5-11 years]; median EWL%, 49.6%.) were evaluated, including 158 gastric sleeve and 161 gastric bypass. During follow-up 273 patients (80.5%) and 196 patients (53.1%) achieved EWL ≥ 50% and ≥ 70%, respectively. In multivariate survival analyses, pre-operative weight loss through IPIC, both < 10.5% and > 10.5% EWL, were positively associated with EWL ≥ 50% (HR 2.23, p < 0.001) and EWL ≥ 70% (HR 3.24, p < 0.001), respectively. After a median of 6.5 years after achieving EWL50% or EWL70%, 56.8% (154/271) had sustained EWL50% and 50.6% (85/168) sustained EWL70%. Higher pre-operative weight loss through IPIC increased the likelihood of sustained EWL ≥ 50% (OR, 2.36; p = 0.013) and EWL ≥ 70% (OR, 2.03; p = 0.011) at the end of follow-up.CONCLUSIONS:
IPIC and higher pre-operative weight loss improve weight loss post-bariatric surgery and reduce the likelihood of weight regain during long-term follow-up.Palavras-chave
