Abstract

Obesity is a complex multifactorial disorder that combines biological, psychological, and social aspects and requires a multidisciplinary approach for proper understanding, diagnosis, and treatment. Bariatric surgery, for some patients, is the most effective tool for obesity treatment and control; however, some patients do not achieve the desired weight or regain part of the lost weight. Even though it is an effective treatment for obesity and associated comorbidities, emotional and behavioral changes can damage lifestyle’s recovery and adjustments to maintain the expected results with the surgical procedure. Among eating disorders (EDs), binge eating disorder (BED) and binge eating (BE) are those with the highest incidence among obese candidates for bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS). Considering that changes in eating behavior can negatively influence weight loss, recognizing this condition becomes essential for early reintervention in order to guarantee the expected success to the patient after undergoing bariatric surgery.
