Screening of Adult ADHD Among Patients Presenting for Bariatric Surgery

Conclusions  The results show that adult ADHD is more common in this clinical group than in the general population (4%) and that adult
ADHD is associated with disordered eating patterns, depression, and anxiety. Further prospective research, using multivariate
analysis, is needed to investigate whether the symptoms of adult ADHD, and their interaction with anxiety, depression, or
disordered eating, may possibly constitute a risk factor in terms of difficulties in adhering to the post-surgery regime and
its potential unfavorable outcome.

Survey of bariatric surgical patients' experiences with behavioral and psychological services.

CONCLUSION: The participants in the present sample reported completing few behavioral and psychological services after surgery. However, our findings showed that these services could promote greater weight loss and maintenance. Thus, it is recommended that bariatric facilities and insurance providers consider requiring patients to complete postoperative behavioral modification programs that target improvement in diet and physical activity behaviors.
