Obesity, 08/11/09
Ochner CN et al. – Findings suggest that the common weight loss regimen requirements of US insurance carriers were ineffective in producing presurgical weight loss in this sample. Most patients (>70%) in this sample gained weight prior to surgery, potentially taking advantage of final opportunities to overindulge in preferred foods. Required patients fared no better in terms of weight change postsurgically and, surprisingly, presurgical weight gain predicted better postsurgical weight loss outcome.
