A567 Baseline Personality Differences Between Sleeve Gastrectomy and Gastric Bypass Cohorts and their Association with Consecutive Follow-Up after Bariatric Surgery

We have previously shown that sleeve gastrectomy (SG) independently predicts both poor weight-loss and clinic-no-shows up to 2 years after bariatric surgery (BS). Given the association between follow-up and weight-loss, we hypothesized that baseline personality differences between SG versus gastric bypass (GB) may be contributory. Therefore, our aim was to compare personality traits between these cohorts and determine their association with consecutive post-operative follow-up.
