Conclusions For optimal weight loss over 24 months after GBP, follow-up is important. Further studies are needed to develop strategies
that will optimize follow-up and weight loss, and to evaluate whether a threshold number of clinic visits can be established.

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.

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.

Abstract Laparoscopic gastric banding (LGB) is the commonest bariatric procedure in Australia. The commonest complication of LGB is
access port or tubing (AP/T) problems, requiring revisional surgery. The aim of this study was to document the evolving pattern
of AP/T complications. All patients whose LGB procedure (AllerganTM Bands) and AP/T revision (AllerganTM port revision sets) were performed by one surgeon (1999 to 2008) were included, giving 167 AP/T revisions in 124 patients
out of a total 1,928 LGB patients. All patient follow-up details were prospectively recorded and retrospectively analysed.
Incidence of LGB AP/T problems was 8.7%. Mean time to first AP/T revision was 2 years. Over the last 4 years of the series,
the number of LGB insertions was constan…
