ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess if attendance to a preoperative counseling program improved weight loss or adherence to treatment guidelines in patients who underwent bariatric surgery.METHODS:
One-hundred-forty-one patients were included in the study. Sixty-nine percent chose to participate in the counseling groups. They were randomized to a Treatment group and a Control group. Thirty-one percent chose not to participate in the counseling. However, they gave their consent to assessment before and after surgery (Reference group).RESULTS:
One year after bariatric surgery, 88% had a weight loss of ≥ 50% EWL, 37% reported more than 30 min of physical activity daily, 74% had 5-7 meals daily, and 87% took recommended vitamins. There were no differences in weight loss, eating habits, or physical exercise between the Treatment group, the Control group and the Reference group one year after surgery.CONCLUSION:
Preoperative group counseling did not increase treatment adherence to recommended life-style changes. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS In accordance with findings in the present study, it is not reasonable to offer a preoperative counseling program for all patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Further research should focus on developing and evaluating programs for postsurgical follow-up, and identifying patients that are in need for more comprehensive treatment programs.
