Binge Eating Behaviour Before and 10 Years Following Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery

Approximately 25% of the sample reported post-operative BE a decade following MBS, including 8.2% de novo cases. Individuals who engaged in post-operative BE demonstrated significantly worse mental health and weight outcomes, especially those with a lifetime history who continued to engage in BE after 10 years. Findings provide nuance to the existing literature and underscore the value of assessing BE at pre- and post-surgery.
