Abstract
Objective:
Individuals opting for bariatric surgery to assist with weight loss face stigma from a variety of sources. This stigma influences individuals' decisions for disclosing (or not) their surgical intentions. To date, the psychological impact on disclosure or nondisclosure has not been explored.
Method:
As part of a longitudinal study exploring the impact of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), 31 participants (aged between 32 and 60 years) completed three validated psychometric scales (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Derriford Appearance Scale, and World Health Organization Quality of Life scale) seven times over a 5-year period.
Results:
Significant positive differences were found on all the psychometric measures across time compared with the preoperative scores; however, no differences between disclosure groups were present. Relationships between psychometric measures and weight were only found in the disclosure group.
Conclusion:
LAGB surgery is likely to have a positive impact on psychological health, and the decision to disclose (or not) surgery is an individual's choice that does not seem to affect mental health outcomes.
Introduction
O
Individuals who have bariatric surgery may experience stigma from social networks and/or healthcare professionals for opting for this type of medical intervention.7–9 Due to the stigma associated with bariatric surgery, some individuals opt not to disclose that they are having this procedure.10–14 Potentially, this nondisclosure could have a negative impact on psychological outcomes after surgery; not telling others limits opportunities for support, for example, discussing challenges and successes, which are known to be of benefit during behavior change.15,16
There has been a steady increase in recognition of the importance of considering psychological health outcomes alongside biometric outcomes,17–22 demonstrating acknowledgment of the psychological challenges encountered by obese individuals.7,23 Psychological health typically improves after bariatric surgery, 24 but it can also deteriorate. 25 Improvements in psychological health have been linked to enhanced physical health and the ability to be more active, 26 decreased depression, 24 and increased confidence in social interactions. 17 Deterioration may be due to difficulties with social interactions involving eating out due to changed diet after surgery, 17 whereas decreased body confidence may be due to loose skin from weight loss, 27 or increased depression in those who experience weight regain after an initial weight loss. 25
The choice to disclose (or not) having bariatric surgery has the potential to impact psychological outcomes, with both decisions associated with psychological stress. Individuals who are obese may be ashamed of their inability to maintain a healthy weight. 28 Shame and guilt are the emotions that individuals are least likely to disclose, 29 and they are, therefore, possibly associated with the nondisclosure of the decision to undergo weight loss surgery. Similarly, talking about intentions to undergo bariatric surgery may have resulted in past negative reactions from others, 13 therefore nondisclosure may be seen as a way to protect oneself from potential negativity.10,30 Disclosure may result in others monitoring behavior, which may be both helpful through encouragement of behavior and unhelpful through judgment of behavior. 31 Further, disclosure allows an individual to talk about the emotions they are experiencing on their weight loss journey, which, although may gain respect from others, 32 might also cause stress for an individual, as reflecting on experiences, including failures and weaknesses, can lead to embarrassment and/or anxiety about rejection.30,33
It is currently unknown as to whether there is a difference in psychological outcomes after surgery in individuals who chose to disclose (or not) their surgery. Previous research in samples of adults in the United Kingdom showed that nondisclosure did not negatively impact weight loss after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). 10 Both disclosers and nondisclosers in the previous study lost a significant amount of weight over a 5-year period, regardless of their decision to disclose (or not). 10 The aim of this study was to explore whether nondisclosure negatively impacted psychological outcomes after LAGB surgery.
Materials and Methods
Participants and procedures
Participant eligibility, study timelines, and setting have been described in detail elsewhere.10,34,35 Briefly, participants needed to meet the NICE eligibility criteria for LAGB surgery, 6 and for this study were required to either have type II diabetes or, in the absence of diabetes, have other comorbidities due to obesity (e.g., high blood pressure). From the sample of 35 individuals who spoke about reasons for disclosure (or not) of their LAGB surgery, 31 were included in this sub-study (n = 23 disclosers; n = 8 nondisclosers). Reasons for exclusion were as follows: did not complete the questionnaires (n = 2), only completed a presurgery questionnaire (n = 1), and had type I diabetes (n = 1). The 31 participants were aged between 32 and 60 years old (mean ± standard deviation [SD]; 45.9 ± 7.2); one participant stated their ethnicity as Indian, whereas the others identified themselves as White. This longitudinal mixed-methods study collected data at seven time points: preoperatively, 6 months postoperatively, and finally annually until 5 years post-LAGB. Before data collection commencing, ethical approval for this study was given by National Health COREC (REC Ref: 06/Q2002/38). Written informed consent was gathered for all study participants. Typically, each data collection point coincided with the participant's routine visit with the weight loss service (WLS), and they completed the study measures as part of this visit. If a participant did not attend, questionnaires were posted with a prepaid envelope to return these to the WLS.
Measures
Hospital anxiety and depression scale
This questionnaire comprises two subscales that measure general anxiety (seven items) and depression (seven items). 36 Respondents are asked to respond to questions based on how they have been feeling in the past week rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 3. Response anchors vary between questions (e.g., “I can sit at ease and feel relaxed” anchored definitely to not at all; and “I get sudden feelings of panic” anchored not at all to very much indeed). Higher scores on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) indicate greater distress. The questionnaire authors suggest that scores are grouped to act as signifiers of distress. In its current form, the HADS is now divided into four ranges: normal (0–7), mild (8–10), moderate (11–15), and severe (16–21).
Derriford Appearance Scale
This scale assesses emotional and behavioral difficulties experienced by individuals with problems of appearance and consists of 24 items. 37 Response options to the questionnaire items are on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 4. Response anchors vary between questions (e.g., “I avoid communal changing rooms” anchored almost always to never/almost never; and “How rejected do you feel?” anchored not at all to extremely), with 11 items having a “not applicable” (N/A) option scored as 0. Higher scores on the scale indicate more problems associated with social avoidance as a result of appearance concerns. There are no suggested clinical cut-offs for this questionnaire.
World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief
This scale assesses quality of life within four domains (physical, psychological, social relationships, and environment).38,39 In addition, there are two items assessing overall quality of life and general health. In total the scale has 28 items. Response options are on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. Response anchors vary between domains (e.g., “Do you have enough energy for everyday life” anchored almost not at all to completely; and “How satisfied are you with yourself?” anchored very dissatisfied to very satisfied). Higher scores in each domain and on the two separate items indicate a better quality of life. The WHO recommends that WHO-BREF scores are transformed to WHO-100 scores to make normative comparisons. 38
Statistical analysis
Participants were assigned to one of two groups based on their pre-LAGB decision to disclose their surgery or not; the categorization process has been described elsewhere. 10 Scoring guidelines for the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief (WHOQoL-BREF) were used to calculate each domain and to convert scores to the WHOQoL-100. 38 Questionnaire author instructions on how to handle missing item responses were followed. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were calculated for each measure at each data collection point. Where it was not possible to calculate score totals for a measure, the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was applied to the missing data. 40 A series of individual repeated-measures ANOVAs were undertaken on each of the measures to explore change over time and between groups (e.g., a 7 [HADS anxiety score at each time point] × 2 [disclosers vs. nondisclosers]). Effect sizes between the discloser and nondiscloser groups were quantified by using Hedges' g.41,42 Differences between pre-LAGB and 5 years post-scores within groups were explored by using paired-sample t-tests. 43 Pearson correlations between the psychometric measures and weight at each time point for each disclosure group were conducted to explore relationships. 43
Results
Missing data—LOCF
Table 1 shows the number of LOCF for each measure at every postsurgery data collection point. As is common with longitudinal studies, the number of times that LOCF was used grew as time since the study commenced increased.
Table 2 shows the descriptive data from the HADS and Derriford Appearance Scale (DAS-24). These data suggest that there was a change in scores over the 5-year period after LAGB in individuals who chose to disclose and not disclose their surgery, although the disclosers tend to be showing signs of more significant distress.

Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
Repeated-measures ANOVA for anxiety showed significant changes in scores over time, F(6, 24) = 4.2, p = 0.005, but no differences between disclosers and nondisclosers, F(6, 24) = 1.0, p = 0.42. Calculation of the effect size of the mean difference between the two groups' anxiety scores showed a medium effect size at baseline (g = 0.55), with nondisclosers scoring 2.3 points less than the disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB a small-to-medium effect size (g = 0.43) was present, with nondisclosers scoring 2.2 points less than the disclosers. Exploring change in anxiety pre-LAGB to 5 years post-LAGB within groups, t-test results showed a significant change for the disclosers, t(22) = 2.3, p = 0.03, but not the nondisclosure group, t(7) = 1.5, p = 0.19. Correlation results are shown in Table 3. No significant relationships were present between weight and anxiety scores at any time point for the nondisclosers group; however, in the disclosers group from 2 to 5 years, significant positive correlations were present, r = 0.54, 0.62, 0.57, and 0.60, respectively.

There was a change in depression scores over time, F(6, 24) = 5.7, p = 0.001, but, as earlier, there was no difference between the groups, F(6, 24) = 0.5, p = 0.81. The effect size of the mean difference between the two groups' scores showed a medium effect size at baseline (g = 0.58), with nondisclosers scoring 2.5 points less than the disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB, a small effect size (g = 0.34) was present, with nondisclosers scoring 1.9 points less than the disclosers. Exploring change in depression pre-LAGB to 5 years post-LAGB within groups, results showed a significant change for the disclosers, t(22) = 2.7, p = 0.01, but not the nondisclosure group, t(7) = 1.5, p = 0.18. Table 3 shows that no significant relationships were present between weight and depression scores at any time point for the nondisclosers group; however, in the disclosers group from 1 to 5 years, significant positive correlations were present, r = 0.58, 0.62, 0.69, 0.66, and 0.64, respectively.
Derriford Appearance Scale
Repeated-measures ANOVA showed a significant change in scores over time, F(6, 24) = 5.1, p = 0.002, but no difference was observed between disclosers and nondisclosers, F(6, 24) = 1.2, p = 0.33. So both groups were experiencing less social anxiety and using less avoidant coping by the end of the 5 years. Effect size calculations showed a medium effect size at baseline (g = 0.65), with nondisclosers scoring 10.7 points less than the disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB, a small effect size (g = 0.35) was present, with nondisclosers scoring 7.3 points less than the disclosers. Within-group analysis (t-test) showed significant changes for the discloser, t(22) = 4.6, p < 0.001, but not the nondisclosure group, t(7) = 2.0, p = 0.08. Correlation results indicated that no significant relationships were present between weight and DAS-24 scores at any time point for the nondisclosers group; however, in the disclosers group from 1 to 5 years, significant positive correlations were present, r = 0.47, 0.55, 0.55, 0.43, and 0.54, respectively.
World Health Organization Quality of Life
Table 4 shows the descriptive data from the WHOQoL sub-scales. These data suggest that quality of life follows an arc with improvements showing mid-term with a trend for a reduction toward the end of the 5-year period. Repeated-measures ANOVA for WHOQoL question one (general rating of quality of life) showed that there was no change in scores over time, F(6, 24) = 2.0, p = 0.10, and no difference was observed between disclosers and nondisclosers, F(6, 24) = 0.6, p = 0.74. Effect size calculation showed a medium effect at baseline (g = 0.67), with nondisclosers scoring 0.7 points more than the disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB, a small effect size (g = 0.29) was present, with nondisclosers scoring 0.3 points more than the disclosers. Within-group analysis (t-test) showed a significant change for the disclosers, t(22) = −3.5, p = 0.02, but not the nondisclosure group, t(7) = −1.4, p = 0.20. Correlation results indicated that no significant relationships were present between weight and question one scores at any time point for the nondisclosers group; however, in the disclosers group pre-LAGB, 2–5 years significant negative correlations were present, r = −0.43, −0.73, −0.63, −0.68, and −0.60, respectively, with a positive correlation found at year 1, r = 0.64.

For WHOQoL question two (rating of satisfaction with health), results showed a significant change in scores over time, F(6, 24) = 8.7, p < 0.001, but no group differences, F(6, 24) = 0.4, p = 0.85. There was a small effect size at baseline (g = 0.32), with nondisclosers scoring 0.3 points more than the disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB, no effect size (g = 0.08) was present, as the two groups differed by only 0.1 point. Within-group analysis showed significant changes for both the discloser and nondisclosure groups, t(22) = −5.9, p < 0.001 and t(7) = −2.6, p = 0.03, respectively. Correlation results indicated that no significant relationships were present between weight and question two scores at any time point for the nondisclosers group; however, in the disclosers group from 2 to 5 years, significant negative correlations were present, r = −0.59, −0.54, −0.66, and −0.57, respectively, with a positive correlation found at year 1, r = 0.64.
For the psychological domain, there was a significant change over time, F(6, 24) = 3.2, p = 0.02, but no difference was observed between disclosers and nondisclosers, F(6, 24) = 0.7, p = 0.64. There was a small-to-medium effect size at baseline (g = 0.41), with nondisclosers scoring 8.4 points more than the disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB, a very small effect size (g = 0.15) was present, with nondisclosers scoring 4.2 points more than the disclosers. Within groups, results showed a significant change for the disclosers, t(22) = −2.6, p = 0.02, but not the nondisclosure group, t(7) = −0.6, p = 0.60. Correlation results indicated that no significant relationships were present between weight and psychological domain scores at any time point for the nondisclosers group; however, in the disclosers group from 6 months to 5 years, significant negative correlations were present, r = −0.45, −0.55, −0.54, −0.62, −0.50, and −0.52, respectively.
For the physical domain, there was a significant change in scores over time, F(6, 24) = 7.5, p < 0.001, but no between-group differences, F(6, 24) = 0.8, p = 0.60. There was a medium effect size at baseline (g = 0.49), with nondisclosers scoring 10.7 points more than the disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB, a very small effect size (g = 0.13) was present, with nondisclosers scoring 4.1 points more than the disclosers. Within-group analysis showed a significant change for the disclosers, t(22) = −4.5, p < 0.001, but not the nondisclosure group, t(7) = −1.9, p = 0.10. Correlation results indicated that no significant relationships were present between weight and physical domain scores at any time point for the nondisclosers group; however, in the disclosers group from 1 to 5 years, significant negative correlations were present, r = −0.52, −0.58, −0.56, −0.63, and −0.53, respectively.
The social relationships domain showed no change in scores over time, F(6, 22) = 1.1, p = 0.42, and no differences between groups, F(6, 22) = 0.6, p = 0.75. There was a large effect size at baseline (g = 0.87), with nondisclosers scoring 19.2 points more than the disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB, a medium effect size (g = 0.65) was present, with nondisclosers scoring 16.5 points more than the disclosers. Exploring change in social scale scores pre-LAGB to 5 years post-LAGB within groups showed no significant changes for either the discloser or nondisclosure groups, t(21) = −1.1, p = 0.31 and t(6) = −0.9, p = 0.38, respectively. Correlation results indicated that no significant relationships were present between weight and social domain scores at any time point for the nondisclosers group; however, in the disclosers group from 6 months to 5 years, significant negative correlations were present, r = −0.48, −0.52, −0.59, −0.57, −0.42, and −0.36, respectively.
The environmental domain showed a significant change in scores over time, F(6, 24) = 2.6, p = 0.04, but no difference was observed between disclosers and nondisclosers, F(6, 24) = 1.0, p = 0.45. There was a very small effect size at baseline (g = 0.17), with nondisclosers scoring 3.5 points more than the disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB, a small effect size (g = 0.25) was present, with nondisclosers scoring 5.7 points more than the disclosers. Exploring change in environmental scale scores pre-LAGB to 5 years post-LAGB within groups, results showed no significant changes for either the discloser or nondisclosure groups, t(22) = −1.3, p = 0.19 and t(7) = −0.8, p = 0.45, respectively. Correlation results indicated that no significant relationships were present between weight and question one scores at any time point for the nondisclosers group; however, in the disclosers group pre-LAGB, then 2–5 years significant negative correlations were present, r = −0.44, −0.55, −0.57, −0.62, and −0.63, respectively.
Discussion
In this sample, data indicate that individuals who decide to disclose (or not) having LAGB surgery may differ psychologically at baseline, but these differences do not necessarily remain at 5 years post-LAGB surgery. Before LAGB surgery, nondisclosers appear to have less problems with appearance and social avoidance as measured by the DAS-24, and be less anxious and depressed as measured by the HADS compared with disclosers. By 5 years post-LAGB surgery, the difference between the groups regarding problems with appearance and social avoidance, anxiety, and depression between the two groups seemed to have reduced. Quality of life in three domains, psychological, physical, and environmental, appears to improve in the long term, but there is no difference between the decision to disclose (or not).
The finding that before surgery nondisclosers appeared less anxious, depressed and had less problems with social avoidance than nondisclosers may indicate that nondisclosure helps with self-preservation before change. 44 Individuals who choose to keep their decision largely private may feel that they are accountable to only a small select group (e.g., spouse, children, and clinical team), and, therefore, do not risk being judged more widely on choosing bariatric surgery to lose weight. 13 But as time since surgery increases, disclosers appear to adjust so that they are more psychologically aligned with nondisclosers than they were before surgery. However, in terms of problems with social avoidance due to appearance (DAS-24), although findings indicate that the disclosure group reported less problems 5 years post-LAGB than presurgery, the presence of a small effect size between disclosers and nondisclosers on the DAS-24 at 5 years post-LAGB may be suggestive of continuing difficulties with being obese in society.2,7 This is supported by the significant positive correlations found between weight and DAS-24 score in the disclosers group between 1 and 5 years post-LAGB surgery, which indicates that as weight increases more problems with social avoidance as a result of appearance concerns are reported. Disclosers may be more aware of being judged about their appearance and food choices by others given that they have told people about their surgery and, hence, may have experienced others' passing remarks. Individuals after bariatric surgery have reported comments from others to the effect that they thought the individual would have been smaller 6 months after surgery than they were, but this is also linked at times to an individual's unrealistic expectations of bariatric surgery.45,46 This type of feedback from others can hinder motivation to change maladaptive behaviors,47–49 and it can be a reason that nondisclosure is chosen.10,12,13
It is worth exploring how the current samples HADS scores compare with the clinical cut-off points of this scale. The HADS scoring states that a scale score <8 is considered in the normal range, a score of 8–10 indicates a possible case, and a score >10 indicates a probable case of mood disorder. 36 Throughout the 5-year period of this study, the nondisclosure group were all in the normal range for both anxiety and depression; whereas for the anxiety measure, the disclosers were in the possible mood disorder range before LAGB and in the first year, and remained close to the possible range throughout the 5-year period. The disclosers depression scores pre-LAGB were in the possible mood disorder range, but after surgery these returned to normal over the next 5 years of monitoring. Despite the HADS scores reducing over the 5-year period, significant positive correlations remained between weight, anxiety, and depression measures between 2 and 5 years, and between 1 and 5 years, respectively, in the disclosure group. This indicates that as weight increases so do reported anxiety and depression feelings, a finding commonly reported in the wider obesity literature. 50 These findings are consistent with the wider literature on the impact of bariatric surgery, which shows that many candidates are in the clinically nonhealthy range before surgery, but have sustained improvement in HADS scores after surgery,51,52 with change predominantly occurring within the first year of surgery, 53 which is when weight loss tends to be the quickest. 54 Even with weight loss over time, there appears to be a continuing relationship between higher self-reported levels of anxiety and depression.
Anxiety and depression are common traits in obese individuals, and for those who are undergoing LAGB there is an awareness of potential failure to successfully lose weight after surgery either through malfunctioning of the LAGB 55 or through one's own inability to change behavior.27,56,57 Results from this study are encouraging, as they indicate that levels of anxiety and depression reduce regardless of an individual's decision to disclose (or not) their surgical intentions. In our previous work, we noted that there was a need to break down myths about LAGB being an easy weight loss option, 10 as individuals are required to make lifelong behavioral changes after surgery for successful weight loss.48,58 Changing attitudes toward LAGB (and bariatric surgery in general) could psychologically benefit individuals as they may feel more supported in their choice and, therefore, less anxious and depressed.
Results from the WHOQoL indicating improvements in the physical and environmental domain are likely linked to weight loss. As an individual loses weight, movement, pain, ability to do activities of daily living and exercise, and interacting with public spaces such as seating typically improve.4,10,59 The capacity to do more activities for oneself, and to be able to choose whether to do these activities or not, is a factor that enhances psychological health.59–61 Self-perceived improvements in quality of life due to LAGB can assist an individual in feeling less stigmatized by society. 62 Results indicated no difference between disclosers and nondisclosers overall, suggesting that improvements are not linked to the decision to disclose (or not) surgical intentions. Similar to other studies, improvements in quality of life appeared to be sustained compared with baseline scores. 63 However, for the current sample, data suggest that there is a peak around 2 years that is likely linked to peak in weight loss before plateau.10,54 In addition, the significant negative relationships found between all the WHOQoL domains and weight are indicative of reducing weight being associated with improved quality of life for those who chose to disclose, that is, individuals who weigh less have higher WHOQoL domain scores.
Comparing scores at 5 years post-LAGB on the transformed scores that WHO recommend are used to make normative comparisons, 38 against the suggested clinical cut-off of 69 (i.e., 15 on the WHO-BREF), where individuals scoring less than this are believed to be experiencing significantly reduced levels of quality of life. 64 The results indicate that the disclosure group continue to experience significantly reduced levels of quality of life in all the WHOQoL domains; whereas for the nondisclosure group, reductions in quality of life remain present in two domains (psychological and physical), but are within the normal range for the social and environmental domains. Although encouraging, it is worth noting that the nondisclosure group were already close to the clinical cut-off at baseline for these two domains; nevertheless, the social and environmental improvements in quality of life after LAGB surgery for this group are positive.
Study strengths and weaknesses
As far as the authors are aware, this is the first exploration of the long-term psychological impact in individuals who decide to disclose (or not) having LAGB in the United Kingdom using validated scales (HADS, DAS-24, and WHOQoL-BREF) used in other studies exploring psychological outcomes after LAGB.
A major limitation of this study was that the sample of nondisclosers comprised only eight individuals; however, the paired sample t-test was designed to detect changes in small sample sizes, 65 therefore the changes detected within the nondisclosure group from presurgery to 5 years postsurgery are likely to be existent. Similarly, some statisticians argue that Pearson correlations are likely to be valid with small samples, 66 whereas other statisticians advise caution when the sample is less than 10. 67 It is possible that we have accepted that there were no relationships between weight and psychometric measure for nondisclosers, when in a larger sample these relationships may be present. Other limitations, including the underrepresentation of individuals from Black and Ethnic Minority (BAME) groups, and only focusing on individuals undergoing LAGB surgery have been previously discussed. 10 In the current sample, there were a number of individuals who chose not to complete the question “how satisfied are you with your sex life” within the WHOQoL social relationships domain, meaning that less data were available for analysis. However, despite there being a smaller sample for analysis, the descriptive results still show improvement from pre-LAGB to 5 years postsurgery. Finally, the use of the LOCF method has meant that findings reported may be conservative compared with a more complete data set as by 5 years post-LAGB 25% of the nondisclosures and roughly 48% of the disclosers data had assumed no change by using this method.40,68
Conclusion
Whether an individual chooses to disclose (or not) having LAGB surgery does not appear to negatively impact long-term psychological changes. Individuals presenting for surgery, regardless of their decision to disclose, appear to have significant improvements in anxiety, depression, quality of life, and less emotional and behavioral difficulties due to problems with appearance 5 years after having an LAGB. As previously stated, the decision to disclose (or not) is a personal choice that clinicians should respect 10 ; these and previous data reported indicate that disclosure choice is not related to long-term outcomes.
