Objectives: To evaluate the psychosocial aspects and the common dietary habits in a group of patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
Methods: Cross-sectional study of patients in follow-up in the specific consultation of morbid obesity of the University Hospital Puerta del Mar (Cádiz) intervened, at 6–12 months of follow-up.
Results: 88 patients were analyzed, of which 70.5% (N=62) are women, with an average age of 45.01±8.55 years. The BMI before the intervention was 47.29±5.54 kg/m2 being 34.52±6.48 kg/m2 at present. Regarding the level of studies, 30.2% had only primary studies. 26.7% were unemployed and 15% disabled. 81.6% admit regular physical exercise and 12.9% admit fast food intake after surgery, and 20.7% continue with snacking throughout the day. The majority (90.7%) has good family support.
Conclusions: The profile of the patients in our area usually presents a basic level of studies -primary and secondary-, in situations of unemployment or early retirement, and after surgery they show changes in their dietary habits and physical exercise, although they frequently persist with inadequate habits.
