Gastrointestinal symptoms and eating behavior among morbidly obese patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
Abstract
Materials and methods: A total of 180 morbidly obese patients who underwent RYGB were included into the prospective study. Gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) questionnaire and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), eating behavior with Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire before and one year after RYGB. For all patients routine gastroscopy before surgery was performed.
Results: A total of 99 patients (55%) completed one-year follow-up; 79 (43.9%) patients had no pathological findings on preoperative gastroscopy. GERD-HRQL score and GSRS scores of indigestion, constipation, abdominal pain and reflux decreased significantly after surgery. Male gender (OR = 2.47, 95% CI 1.11–5.50, P = 0.026), GERD-HRQL score (OR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.16– 1.41, P < 0.001) and GSRS diarrhea score (OR = 1.89, 95% CI 1.10–3.17, P = 0.020) were significant predictors of pathological findings on gastroscopy. Eating behavior one year after RYGB changed significantly as compared to baseline. Cognitive Restraint postoperatively has increased from 42.6 to 55.9 (P < 0.001). Uncontrolled Eating and Emotional Eating one year after surgery significantly decreased (59.1 vs. 20.6, P < 0.001 and 28.2 vs. 17.2, P < 0.001, respectively).
