Brief Summary:
Reduction in food reinforcement appears to be a principal way by which bariatric surgery lowers energy intake to promote weight loss and other health improvements.However, surgical modulation of mechanisms that influence food reinforcement is variable with some patients appearing more resistant to these effects than others.This "resistant" phenotype, characterized by high levels of hedonic hunger (i.e., eating for pleasure in the absence of hunger) and disinhibition (i.e., susceptibility to cues that…
