Few other medical treatments are as intricately intertwined with psychological and behavioral factors as weight loss surgery (WLS).1 In WLS, successful outcomes are not purely related to the surgical procedures themselves; optimal long-term surgical outcomes require significant and life-long behavioral and dietary changes, and surgery often has wide-ranging and profound psychosocial effects. It is important for physicians working with the WLS population to have some familiarity with the psychosocial aspects of obesity and WLS to best assist their patients with the many changes and potential challenges associated with surgery.
