Conditions
Brief summary
Current research indicates there may be an impact of bariatric surgery on patient’s psychological health, including increased rates of depression, suicidal and self-harm behaviours, and drug and alcohol use. However, the actual impact remains unclear due to the variety of procedures being performed, the diverse methods of assessing psychological health, and the amount of time patients are followed. In order to advance our understanding of these relationships, patients must be assessed and followed throughout their experience of bariatric surgery and for an extended amount of time into their recovery. This will facilitate the identification of risk factors so that the most vulnerable patients can be identified and the optimal care provided.
Interventions
Bariatric Surgery
Any currently approved bariatric procedure performed in the treatment of obesity. This will consist primarily of Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures but may also include One-Anastamosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB), SADI, and gastric band procedures.
Procedures will be performed by bariatric surgeons at their preferred hospital site(s). Surgeons will primarily be those contributing to the Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand Bariatric Surgery Registry.

Bariatric Surgery Any currently approved bariatric procedure performed in the treatment of obesity. This will consist primarily of Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures but may also include One-Anastamosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB), SADI, and gastric band procedures. Procedures will be performed by bariatric surgeons at their preferred hospital site(s). Surgeons will primarily be those contributing to the Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand Bariatric Surgery Registry. Procedure type will be chosen by the patient and their surgeon. Patients will be undergoing bariatric surgery regardless of their involvement in this study. Participants will be asked to complete a series of questionniares via an online platform (REDCap) at baseline and at 2, 12, 24 weeks, 1, 2, and 3 years post-surgery. All questionnaires will be delivered online, with participant contact being made by their nominated method (email, mail, or phone call). This includes the following questionnaires: - The BODY-Q scales (body image, physcial function, psychological function, social function, expectations: weight loss, eating behvaiour, eating-related distress, eating-related symptoms, satisfaction with surgeon, and satisfaction with information), which will take approximately 40 minutes to complete; - The PROMIS-D scale, taking approximately 5 minutes to complete; - The modified Yale Food Addiction Scale (mYFAS 2,0), taking approximately 5 minutes to complete; - The Alcohol, Smoking, & Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), Screening Question 2 only, taking 1 minute to complete; - The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), taking approximately 10 minutes to complete; - The Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT), taking approximately 10 minutes to complete; and - The Alcohol Sensitivity Questionniare (ASQ), taking approximately 10 minutes to complete. Patients will undergo their primary procedure at enrolment. Any subsequent procedures/revisions will be captured during follow-up. All participants will be followed for 3 years following their primary procedure.
