Summary: This narrative review summarizes the existing research on the clinical impact of a Mediterranean diet before and after bariatric surgery, focusing on its effects on weight loss and improvement in comorbidities. Although the current knowledge is limited, the findings suggest that adopting a Mediterranean diet before and after bariatric surgery is of significant value.

Summary: Individuals with obesity tend to have increased brain age due to poor brain health caused by grey and white matter atrophy. Weight loss and cardiometabolic improvements following bariatric surgery may reverse this condition and improve brain health.

Summary: Revisional bariatric surgery is an option for patients with weight regain or inadequate weight loss after primary elective procedures. However, the safety outcomes of revisional procedures are conflicting. This study aims to characterize the patient demographics, procedure types, and safety outcomes for those undergoing revisional compared to initial bariatric interventions.

Summary: The study revealed a 10.5% incidence of Eustachian tube dysfunction after bariatric surgery. The ETDQ questionnaire can be utilized for ETD screening in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery, highlighting a potentially overlooked complication in this population.

Summary: The study revealed that preoperative weight loss can assist patients in achieving >= 25% total weight loss postoperatively at 1 and 2 years, and the extent of preoperative weight loss plays a role in the significance and odds of postoperative success.

Summary: This study aimed to identify factors associated with low preoperative quality of life and evaluate the benefits of panniculectomy and abdominoplasty. The study found that older age, Black race, public insurance, and multiple morbidities were associated with lower baseline quality of life. However, quality of life improved significantly after surgery regardless of complications or degree of obesity.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a preoperative protein sparing modified fast (PSMF) diet on liver volume and steatosis, as well as intraoperative and postoperative complications in patients with hepatomegaly undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. The results showed that a 5-day preoperative PSMF diet led to a significant reduction in liver volume without affecting the complication rates. This suggests that the PSMF diet can be helpful in achieving rapid weight loss and managing hepatomegaly in bariatric surgery patients.

Summary: This study found that male gender and more recent dates of surgery were the two independent risk factors for follow-up interruption. Older age, male gender, and higher weight loss were all independent risk factors of an irregular follow-up. Revision bariatric surgery was associated with lower risk of interruption and irregular follow-up, along with higher preoperative BMI.

Summary: This study indicates that severe postoperative complications do not have a significant impact on weight loss effects or remission of obesity-related diseases.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of marijuana use on complication rates and weight loss outcomes after bariatric surgery. The results showed that patients with a history of marijuana use generally had higher preoperative BMI, but marijuana use was not associated with complications or percent weight loss.

Summary: This study found substantial variability in the percent total weight loss following bariatric surgery, with functional brain imaging showing more variance in post-surgical weight loss than psychological or metabolic information. The neuronal responses during anticipatory cues and receipt of drops of milkshake differed between individuals with severe obesity and healthy-weight controls, with changes in brain response related to a composite health index. Despite no correlation with post-surgical weight loss in the entire surgical group, participants who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) showed predictive power in several regions and contrasts.

Summary: Compliance with self-monitoring behavior has a significant impact on long-term weight loss outcomes for patients following bariatric surgery. Patients with long-term self-monitoring behaviors tend to have better weight loss results, and those who underwent LRYGB tend to have better outcomes compared to LSG patients.

Summary: This systematic review examined the relationship between macronutrient intake and weight loss after bariatric surgery (BS). Eight articles involving 2,378 subjects were included, and the results indicated that protein intake was positively associated with weight loss after BS. Prioritizing protein followed by carbohydrates and reducing lipid intake favored weight loss and weight stability after BS. The review suggests that a high-protein diet (>60 g to 90 g/day) may be beneficial for weight loss and maintenance after BS, but a balance of other macronutrients is also important.

Summary: The study demonstrates that lengthening the intestinal bypass during RYGB does not affect GLP-1 secretion, suggesting that the characteristic enhancement of GLP-1 response after RYGB may not depend on delivering nutrients to more distal intestinal segments.
