Objectives: To evaluate the psychosocial aspects and the common dietary habits in a group of patients in follow-up in specific consultation of bariatric surgery prior to the intervention.
Methods: Cross-sectional study of patients in follow-up in the specific morbid obesity consultation of the University Hospital Puerta del Mar (Cádiz) not intervened.
Results: 110 patients were analyzed, of which 68.2% are women, with an average age of 44.63 years. Regarding the level of studies, 30.2% had only primary studies and 47.7% had primary and secondary studies. 32.7% were unemployed and 8.4% were disabled. 55.5% acknowledge regular physical exercise and 56.1% recognize a fast food intake, although 83.6% refer to a healthy and balanced diet. The majority (83.7%) have good family support.
Conclusions: The profile of patients undergoing follow-up in our consultation prior to bariatric surgery usually presents a basic level of studies -primary and secondary-, relatively frequent in the case of unemployment or early retirement. Only half of patients exercise regularly and bad dietary habits persist in terms of fast food intake.
