Abstract
PURPOSE In clinical practice it is often debated if problematic eating behavior should be considered as a contraindication for bariatric surgery. RESULTS Even though there is clear evidence for a high prevalence rate of abnormal eating behavior such as binge eating, sweet eating, and night eating in morbidly obese patients prior to bariatric surgery, preoperative abnormal eating behavior does not seem to be a predictor for the postoperative weight course. CONCLUSION There is currently sufficient evidence that mental disorders including eating disorders and abnormal eating behavior have less influence on the postoperative course in morbidly obese patients after bariatric surgery than might be expected.
