Description:
Course attendees will learn about the newest scientific approaches to understanding and treating critical behavioral and psychosocial aspects of bariatric surgery that can impact achievement and maintenance of weight loss and other clinical outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Define impulsivity; describe relationships of impulsivity with psychological disorder symptoms, risky behaviors, and weight loss in the context of bariatric surgery.
- Discuss how preoperative taste preference may function as a precision medicine tool by informing selection of surgical procedure; summarize evidence for effects of bariatric surgery on neural processing of reward-based taste processes.
- Identify challenges to defining and measuring problematic eating behaviors after bariatric surgery; describe a new method for classifying bariatric binge/locus of control eating.
- Explain objectively-measured patterns of physical activity and sedentary behavior after bariatric surgery; identify several barriers and facilitators to making pre- and postoperative physical activity and sedentary behavior changes.
