Objective:
To analyze the psychological status of morbidly obese patients suffering changes after surgical procedure for weight reduction.
Methods:
We analyze the weight loss in 100 morbidly obese patients (85 female, 15 male) after bariatric surgery (vertical banded gastroplasty). We correlated the percentage of weight loss with the age of these patients, initial weight (body mass index at surgery), quality of life, eating behaviour, psychopathology, personality, and marital status.
Results:
We have found relation between initial weight and weight loss (heavier patients lose more weight). The percentage of weight loss is associated with the Eating Behaviour (Body Dissatisfaction, Disinhibition), the Quality of Life (Positive Affect), the Psychopathology (Hostility), the Personality Traits (Narcissist), and the Marital Status (Idealistic Distortion).
Conclusions:
The weight loss in morbidly obese patients after surgery is major in the more obese one. The satisfactory weight loss after surgery improve the eating behaviour, quality of life, psychological and marital status.
