TI  - Binge eating in the bariatric surgery population: a review of the literature.
PG  - 349-59
AB  - OBJECTIVE: This article reviews the status of the literature addressing 
      clinically significant binge eating in the bariatric surgery patient. The goal is 
      to provide a background that will guide patients, surgeons, and mental health 
      practitioners toward the most successful long-term surgical outcome when binge 
      eating is identified. METHOD: Pubmed and Medline search with subsequent reference 
      list search of identified articles. We searched literature through April 2006 on 
      the influence of binge eating (BE) on surgical outcome. RESULTS: Those with 
      pre-surgical BE are more likely to retain the eating pathology and, if they do, 
      to have poorer weight loss outcome. Many people who binge ate prior to surgery 
      report continued feelings of loss of control when eating small amounts of food 
      after surgery. Studies that employed the DSM-IV definition of a binge episode 
      reported absence of BE after surgery, unlike those that modified binge criteria 
      after surgery. CONCLUSION: Clinically significant BE is related to poorer 
      surgical outcomes, and additional interventions may be needed to improve long 
      term outcomes. Though surgery does alter body's physiology, claims that the 
      psychological aspects of BE are "cured" by obesity surgery must be viewed with 
      caution. Researchers and practitioners must reach a consensus on how to define BE 
      after gastric surgery so that future long-term prospective studies may further 
      evaluate the effect of BE on surgical outcome and vice versa.
