The relationship of presurgical Personality Assessment Inventory scales to BMI following bariatric surgery.

In contrast to a focus on clinical elevations when using broadband measures of psychopathology, these results suggest a more nuanced pattern of weight loss and subsequent regain associated with certain subclinical elevations.
