Bariatric surgery, Body image, Quality of lifeAbstract
Bariatric surgery is indicated for people with morbid obesity that have not been successful with clinical treatment, especially those with associated co morbidities. It is well known that the assessment of psychological aspects is important during all stages of the surgical treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate quality of life and body image dimensions before and after bariatric surgery, identifying possible changes in these dimensions after the procedure. A longitudinal study was performed with assessments on the pre-operatory period and on 1o, 6 o, 12 o e 18 o months after the procedure. The instruments used were: a sociodemographic questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), WHOQOL-brief, a Brazilian Silhouette Scale for Adults and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ-AS). 109 individuals took part in this study during pre-surgical moment, and 84% of them were female. There was significant increase in the percentage of weight loss (PWL) in all periods of evaluation (p < 0.001). Results of BAI and BDI scales showed symptoms of minimum intensity. In relation to quality of life it was found significant improvement on physical, psychological and environmental dimensions, and the evaluation of boy image showed that after surgery the changes were positive, especially related to body satisfaction and appearance evaluation. In future studies it is recommended to investigate if aspects such as overweight preoccupation and a high investment on appearance would relate to the emergence of eating disorders after 24 months of surgery.
