The health benefits of interventions occurring before surgery have not been addressed as a whole. The objective of this review was to investigate the impact of presurgical behavioral interventions on weight-related measures among adults.
Methods:
The review utilized the guidelines established by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses statement. Thereafter, scoping review methods were used to report and summarize what is known about the specific topic to date. Relevant articles were identified by databases up to July 6, 2015.
Results:
A total of eight studies were identified for inclusion in the review. Across five of the studies, patients in treatment groups demonstrated greater weight loss improvement than control/comparator groups at follow-up. Generally, the impact of presurgical behavioral interventions facilitated improvements in weight-related measures and demonstrated the utility of behavior modification treatment within their programs.
Conclusions:
The importance of implementing routine behavioral treatment into bariatric surgery protocol, whether before and/or after surgery, may prevent patients from experiencing weight regain. Overall, this systematic scoping review provides an evidence-based overview of behavior modification therapies offered before weight loss surgery, which promotes weight reduction and may potentially better prepare individuals for long-term obesity management.
