RISK FACTORS, PREDICTORS, AND MODERN APPROACHES TO TREATMENT OF REPEATED BODY WEIGHT GAIN AFTER BARIATRIC INTERVENTIONS

The authors note that the analysis of data from global and domestic practice confirms that the increase in the prevalence of obesity worldwide, including in Uzbekistan, leads to an increase in the number of bariatric interventions. However, long-term treatment outcomes, especially the RBWG problem, remain insufficiently studied and poorly predictable. The main risk factors for RBWG are post-operative anatomical changes, hormonal and metabolic disorders, behavioral and psychological aspects, and socio-economic conditions. The authors conclude that addressing the issue of RBWG after bariatric surgeries in Uzbekistan requires a comprehensive approach, including adapting international protocols, developing infrastructure, and raising awareness among patients and specialists, which will improve treatment effectiveness, reduce the risk of recurrence, and improve the quality of life of patients.
