Findings suggest that among post-bariatric surgery patients with LOC eating, secretive eating signals more severe eating disorder psychopathology overall and specifically related to dissatisfaction with weight and shape. Bariatric BED status, however, has a stronger association than secretive eating with many clinical variables. Secretive eating should be assessed and considered when addressing weight and shape concerns among patients experiencing LOC eating after bariatric surgery.
