Emotional food cravings experienced 4-6 weeks following LSG may predict poor weight loss outcomes at 6 months. Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject? The prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. Bariatric surgery is currently the most viable and cost-effective treatment for obesity and shows sustainability. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is now the most common procedure. Not all patients achieve excess weight loss outcome (EWL) following LSG. What does this study add? Emotional food cravings contribute to weight loss outcomes at 6 months' post-LSG surgery. Emotional food cravings may be a maladaptive coping mechanism that represents important area for early psychological intervention.
