Adherence
Adherence to dietary counseling and changing eating habits significantly increases the likelihood of success (excess weight loss >50%) after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding.
If you are getting a gastric band, you must commit to changing your eating habits. The study shows that patients who do not change their eating habits are 2.2 times more likely to fail (lose less than 50% of excess weight) compared to those who do. Follow diet counseling strictly.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Patients who had not changed their eating habits had a 2.2 times higher risk not to have a success than those who did.
Why this rating
Large nationwide observational study (n=1236) with prospective follow-up, though not a randomized controlled trial.
