BACKGROUND: Cognitive restraint, binge eating, night eating, body image disparagement and shape overconcern describe the food and weight related attitudes of obese patients. POSTOPERATIVE FINDINGS: At long term follow-up after biliopancreatic diversion, body weight is steadily at normal or nearly normal levels regardless of food intake: any preoccupation for food, weight and diet are thereafter completely abandoned. The normalization of body shape corresponds to a sharp improvement in eating behavior, body image and psychological conditions. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the dissatisfaction of one's somatic morphology and the consequent dieting account for most of the aberrant eating patterns in obese patients.
