Abstract EN
Substantial heterogeneity exists in weight loss trajectories amongst patients following bariatric surgery.
Hormonal factors are postulated to be amongst the contributors to the variation seen.
Several hormones involved in hunger, satiety, and energy balance are affected by bariatric surgery, with the alteration in hormonal milieu varying by procedure.
Limited research has been conducted to examine potential hormonal mediators of weight loss failure or recidivism following bariatric surgery.
While hormonal factors that influence weight loss success following gastric banding have not been identified, data suggest that hormonal factors may be involved in modulating weight loss success following gastric bypass.
There may be hormonal mediators involved in determining the weight trajectory following sleeve gastrectomy, though the extremely limited data currently available prohibits definitive conclusions from being drawn.
There is great need for future research studies to explore this knowledge gap, as improving this knowledge base could be of benefit to guide clinicians toward understanding the hormonal contributors to a patient’s postoperative weight loss failure or recidivism or perhaps be of value in selecting the most appropriate bariatric procedure based on the preoperative hormone milieu.
Integrative interdisciplinary approaches exploring these complex interrelationships could potentially increase the explanatory power of such investigations.
