Research summary
Bariatric surgery is increasing within the National Health Service (NHS); however, results do not always achieve the weight loss goal or patient satisfaction that were expected pre-surgery. Dichotomous (black and white) thinking has been linked to weight and disordered eating, however no previous research has been done measuring these factors within the bariatric population. Therefore, this study aims to review the relationship between dichotomous thinking, disordered eating and weight-loss maintenance two years post bariatric surgery. If dichotomous thinking can be used to predict treatment outcomes, this has potential clinical applications in the form of identifying a measurable and treatable psychological barrier to poor prognosis.
