Do Patients Who Undergo Sleeve Gastrectomy Differ from Those Who Underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass? A Comparison of Eating Disorders Outcomes

This review compares the incidence of eating disorders (EDs) after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and explores the risk factors associated with developing EDs after SG and RYGB and examines the association of EDs after SG and RYGB with weight loss outcomes. Despite the heterogeneity of included studies that differ in assessment tools, study type, and length of follow-up, EDs are prevalent after bariatric surgery. Postoperative risk factors associated with EDs include weight and shape concerns, loss of control of eating, and a history of psychological illness. EDs interfere negatively with weight loss outcomes after SG and RYGB.
