| Popis: | Purpose: Morbidly obese patients have experienced various anorexiants before bariatric surgery. The long-term using anorexiants can emotionally distort hunger sensation for those who have drug dependency or for those whom the drugs no longer have affected. This study was to evaluate the effects of them on hunger and weight loss after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). Materials and Methods: The patients with LAGB were divided into the anorexiant group who had taken anorexiants during more than 2 months within 2 months before the surgery and the non-anorexiant group who did not take anorexiants. The data of body weight were collected in clinics and telephone survey at postoperative 1 week, 4 weeks and every 2 weeks interval until 16 weeks. The effects of preoperative anorexiants were evaluated with the Hunger score and % excessive weight loss (%EWL). The hunger score was evaluated with Hunger Scale at MIT medical at postoperative 4 hours, 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks. Results: 36 and 31 patients were respectively enrolled into the anorexiant group and non-anorexiant group. Mean hunger score was significantly lower in the anorexiant group at postoperative 4 hours, 1 week and 1 month (P |
