Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Psychological traits of obese patients, assessed with the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI), were compared to those of subjects in the long-term following biliopancreatic diversion for obesity (BPD), when body weight has been steadily normal for over 1 year and any preoccupation with dieting and weight has been completely abandoned. The overall results suggest that the stable body weight normalization on a completely free diet does confer considerable psychological benefit on obese individuals. On the basis of the EDI results, post-BPD subjects were divided into weight-preoccupied and not-weight-preoccupied individuals. In the not-weight-preoccupied subjects, the psychosocial status and emotional rectivity were closely similar to those observed in lean control persons, whereas the few weight-preoccupied subjects, in spite of completely normal body weight, showed residual body dissatisfaction and personality traits very similar to those of eating-disordered patients.
