Brief summary
A cohort study of patients undergoing a medical intervention for weight loss at a bariatric surgery clinic (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, intragastric balloon or medication) between March 2019 and March 2020. A food and eating behavioural checklist developed by health professionals at the clinic was used to identify and record problems in the medical checklist. Patient demographic data, outcomes, number of follow-up appointments attended, psychology notes will be accessed via medical records. Data will be analysed to determine whether there is an association between food and eating behavioural problems, adherence to follow-up appointments and adverse events. Results may be used to patient outcomes by improving the multidisciplinary intervention model provided at bariatric surgery clinics.
Interventions
The exposure of interest was "Problematic eating behaviours", i.e., food choices, food preparation, eating habits which are associated with negative health outcomes and/or negative nutrient intake.
Problematic eating behaviours were assessed by the multidisciplinary team at a bariatric centre, as part of usual care. These behaviours were recorded in the patients medical record (LapBase, TotalCare, or psychology notes) either descriptively or as part of a standardised checklist. Patients medica

Problematic eating behaviours were assessed by the multidisciplinary team at a bariatric centre, as part of usual care. These behaviours were recorded in the patients medical record (LapBase, TotalCare, or psychology notes) either descriptively or as part of a standardised checklist. Patients medical records were retrospectively observed for this data. The problematic eating behaviours were assessed at three time-points: Preoperative, 3-weeks to 6-months postoperative, and 12-months postoperatively. The exposure of interest was extracted from medical record entries from March 2019 to December 2021.
