Key Points Question Are eating disorders and nonnormative eating behaviors prospectively associated with weight loss and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) up to 6 years following obesity surgery? Findings In a multicenter cohort study of 748 patients who presented for obesity surgery, eating disorders and nonnormative eating behaviors did not show significant prospective associations with weight loss. However, subthreshold binge-eating disorder and loss-of-control eating were significantly prospectively associated with lower HRQOL. Meaning The results demonstrate prospective relevance of subthreshold binge-eating disorder and loss-of-control eating for long-term HRQOL outcomes following obesity surgery; postsurgical monitoring may identify patients who need targeted prevention or psychotherapy.
