“…This finding regarding negative feelings may be a cause for lack of concentration also being very prevalent, among other factors. 18 Silva et al have observed that patients submitted to bariatric surgery experience improvements in their psychologic status after weight loss. 18 Thus, we understand that the treatment of obesity needs multidisciplinary follow-up, where mental health should be important, guiding the patient in resignifying their new body and even a new life.…”

Purpose: To evaluate the life quality of women of reproductive age in the late postoperative period of bariatric surgery, in addition to analyzing the physical and emotional difficulties related to the sexuality among these patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study, carried out in 2018 at Hospital das Clínicas, Federal University of Pernambuco, that analyzed the quality of life through the WHOQOL-Bref instrument, and the sexual experience of 49 women of reproductive age who had undergone bariatric surgery. Results: The mean age of the sample was 39.4 years. The mean weight before surgery was 116.8 kg, decreasing to 75.4 kg in the postoperative period. Sleeve gastrectomy was performed in 57.1% of the sample, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was performed in the remaining 42.9%. The mean follow-up time was 2.5 years. Infertility, depression, and polycystic ovary syndrome presented a statistically significant reduction in the postoperative period. In relation to the difficulties regarding sexual experience, the whole sample significantly improved after surgery. The great majority of patients positively classified their quality of life. Conclusion: Bariatric surgery leads to better quality of life in women of reproductive age, reducing comorbidities and improving their sexual experience in both physical and emotional scopes.

Obesity, which is becoming a lifestyle disease, is a significant social problem due to its growing frequency and its complications, primarily cardiovascular diseases. The recommended conservative treatment of obesity, consisting in the use of a weight reduction diet and physical activity, is often not effective or the effect of these actions does not last long. Bariatric surgery is an emerging field of surgery that can be used to treat obesity in a selected group of patients. Different operative methods of bariatric procedures are available. They allow one to achieve a significant weight loss. However, their application requires proper preparation of the patient before surgery and changes in eating habits and often chronic use of dietary supplements after surgery. This method of treatment should be considered in patients in whom conservative treatment has not produced the desired effect. Bariatric treatments are aimed not only at achieving weight loss, but also at improving the course of diseases often coexisting with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension.
