Shape Discrepancy, Weight Bias Internalization, and Eating-Disorder Psychopathology in Patients with Loss-of-Control Eating after Bariatric Surgery
Postoperative loss-of-control (LOC) eating is associated with eating-disorder psychopathology, and poorer weight loss and mental health outcomes following bariatric surgery. The nature and significance of shape discrepancy has not been examined in patients with LOC eating following bariatric surgery. (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases)

Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program
Clinical calculators can provide patient-personalized estimates of treatment risks and health outcomes. The American College of Surgeons Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program set out to create a publicly available tool to assess both short-term postoperative risk and long-term benefits for prospective adult patients eligible for 1 of 4 primary bariatric procedures. The calculator is comprised of multiple prediction elements: (1) 30-day postoperative risk, (2) 1-year body mass index projections, and (3) 1-year co-morbidity remission.

Invited Commentary: Preconception maternal gastric bypass surgery and the impact on fetal growth parameters
The epidemic of obesity affects patients of all ages and the downstream metabolic derangements are well known to affect fertility [1]. Indeed, it has been long accepted that even a modest weight loss of 10% significantly improves ovulation and fecundity [2]. To that end, women of reproductive age are increasingly seeking methods for effective and efficient weight loss to optimize fertility and pregnancy. For the appropriate candidate, bariatric surgery presents a viable option not only to improve overall health but improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes as well.

Assessing postoperative analgesic and opioid-sparing efficacy of peripheral nerve blocks in patients undergoing bariatric surgery
By a cohort study of 89 patients who underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery including sleeve gastrectomy and Rouxen-Y gastric bypass, Schott et al [1] evaluated the effects of peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) on postoperative pain and opioid use and showed that addition of truncal PNB (preoperative paravertebral nerve block or postoperative transversus abdominis plane block) to the standard enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol improved postoperative pain control and decreased total opioid consumption.
