Objectives: To evaluate the psychosocial aspects in a group of patients in follow-up in specific consultation of bariatric surgery prior to the intervention and in a group of patients intervened.
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 and a group intervened and in a group intervened, at 6–12 months of follow-up.
Results: 1. Group not intervened: 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.
2. Group intervened: 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. The majority (90.7%) has good family support.
Conclusions: The profile of patients in two groups usually presents a basic level of studies -primary and secondary-, relatively frequent in the case of unemployment or early retirement.
