Cannabis use following bariatric surgery is associated with anxiety and maladaptive eating

CONCLUSIONS: Cannabis use after bariatric surgery was associated with anxiety symptoms and engaging in maladaptive eating behaviors. Frequent cannabis use (i.e., ≥1 per week) was associated with additional types of maladaptive eating. Clinicians involved in presurgical and postsurgical care may want to counsel patients currently using cannabis, especially those who are engaging in frequent use.PMID:37863791 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.09.009
