    Metabolic and bariatric surgery leads to significant weight loss but about 30% of patients experience weight regain within one to two years post-surgery.

    Binge eating behaviors can persist after surgery and are linked to weight regain, necessitating psychological interventions alongside surgical treatment.

  • 3

    Mindfulness-based interventions, like Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training, show promise in improving eating behaviors and emotional regulation in post-surgery patients.

  • 4

    Weight regain post-surgery has both physiological and psychosocial impacts, including feelings of shame and frustration, affecting patients' follow-up care.

    Current conventional treatments for weight regain focus on biological aspects but often neglect emotional and behavioral dimensions of eating.
