Perception and Awareness of Bariatric Surgery in Canada: a National Survey of General Surgeons
Conclusions There appears to be support for bariatric surgery among Canadian general surgeons participating in this survey. Knowledge gaps identified indicate the need for more education and resources to support general surgeons managing bariatric surgical patients.

Formal Nutritional Education Improves Weight Loss in Bariatric Patients Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
ConclusionsThe addition of formal nutritional education can enhance weight loss following bariatric surgery. We have shown a significant improvement in weight loss results following LSG with the implementation of formal nutritional education; this is the only study to our knowledge evaluating formal nutritional education and LSG.

In search of the ideal patient for the intragastric balloon - short- and long-term results in 70 obese patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Obesity management with the intragastric balloon is a safe treatment method, which effectively induces weight loss. Poor tolerance and lack of response occurring in some individuals should be taken into consideration. The best results are achieved in women with class 1 obesity. PMID: 26865890 [PubMed]

Standardized care protocol and modifications to electronic medical records to facilitate venous ulcer healing
ConclusionsA comprehensive care model for venous ulcer patients through EMR modification improved overall patient care, increased communication between providers, and facilitated ulcer healing. EMR modification can be introduced with an acceptable time investment on the part of both the provider and the institutional information technology team.

Systematic review of patient education practices in weight loss surgery.
CONCLUSION: WLS patient education varied by curriculum and dose and commonly used passive learning methods (e.g., traditional lecture style instruction with minimal engagement from learners). Results shared can inform future bariatric education programs and accreditation standard development (e.g., Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program patient education standards). Additional study is needed, but existing evidence can guide improvements in high-quality, cost-effective, and patient-centered educational programs. PMID: 28216118 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comment on: Paired editorial: efficacy of video-based education program in improving metabolic surgery perception among patients with obesity and diabetes
Both medical and surgical weight loss interventions improve patient health by alleviating obesity-related health concerns. Medical weight loss interventions, such as the implementation of lifestyle changes with or without the addition of prescription anti-obesity medications, yields minimal weight loss up to 10% [1]. While it is known that bariatric/metabolic surgery yields greater weight loss —averaging 50% at year five [2] —in addition to which either 60-80% of surgical patients (procedure dependent) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) experiencing remission or significant improvement of their disease (up to 90%) [3].

Assessment of education effects on patient involvement and bariatric treatment outcome: an observational study.
Conclusions: This study results should encourage the establishment of education as a permanent element of the LSG procedure. PMID: 32117499 [PubMed]

Feasibility of Smartphone-Based Education Modules and Ecological Momentary Assessment/Intervention in Pre-bariatric Surgery Patients
Conclusions This study is the first to reveal the feasibility of using a smartphone app in the education and engagement of patients prior to bariatric surgery. The app was well-received based on subject satisfaction scores and revealed trends toward positive behavior change and increased weight loss. Randomized trials are necessary to delineate true efficacy.

Comment on: “Postoperative Outcomes based on Patient Participation in a Pre-surgery Education and Weight Management Program”
We read with great interest an article written by Pratt et al. [1]. The authors performed a retrospective review of medical records to compare postoperative outcomes between patients who attended and did not attend presurgery weight management programs (WMPs). The authors concluded that percent excess weight loss at 12 months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was the only outcome that was significantly higher in those who attended WMPs. Although the study was generally well conducted, most of the analyzed outcomes did not reach statistical significance.

Comparison of bariatric surgery and medical therapy for obese adolescents with type 2 diabetes
CONCLUSION: Bariatric surgery is more effective in the control of weight loss and type 2 diabetes than medical treatment. The effects between different types of bariatric surgeries remain to be further investigated, and longer follow-up times are needed.PMID:36369137 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2022.10.079

The State of Weight Loss Surgery Patient Education: An Examination of the Evidence
Recidivism following bariatric surgery can result from failed behavioral modifications. Education plays a key role in adherence to lifestyle changes after Weight Loss Surgery (WLS). Providing effective education before and after WLS may decrease recidivism rates and improve outcome. The purpose of this evidence-based literature review was to analyze educational practices in bariatric centers.
