Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of binge eating disorder (BED) in bariatric
surgery (BS) candidates and to compare the quality of life, anxiety and depression levels of patients with or
without BED preoperatively and 6 months after the surgery.
Method: Fifty-one BS candidates aged between 18 and 65 years were enrolled preoperatively. BED evaluated
with the structured clinical interview for (SCID-I) DSM-IV criteria. Beck Depression Scale (BDS), Beck
Anxiety Scale (BAS), and Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36) forms applied preoperatively and 6 months
after the surgery.
Results: BED was diagnosed in 18 patients (35.29%). Their postoperative BDS and BAS scores were found to
be improved compared to preoperative period ( p < 0.001). Six months after the surgery, the quality of life in all
participants whether they were diagnosed with BED or without BED was significantly shown to be improved
( p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The prevalence of BED is high among BS patients. Six months after the surgery, clinical improvement
was observed in the quality of life and anxiety and depression levels
