“…Add to this, further, the pressure of the family on the obese person, which can create a feeling of inadequacy that generates self-demand, anguish and anxiety (9) .

RESUMENObjetivo: Comprender el proceso de toma de decisión de la mujer obesa por la cirugía bariátrica. Método: Investigación cualitativa con abordaje de la fenomenología social llevada a cabo en 2012, con 12 mujeres, utilizándose la entrevista fenomenológica. Resultados: La mujer funda su decisión por la cirugía en la inadecuación de sus hábitos alimentarios, la apariencia física incompatible con la estandarizada por la sociedad, el prejuicio social vivido, las limitaciones impuestas por la obesidad y el fracaso de los intentos previos de adelgazamiento. Ante la decisión por la cirugía tiene como expectaciones rescatar su salud, incluirse socialmente e insertarse en el mercado laboral. Conclusión: El estudio permite reflexionar que las acciones prescriptivas no responden a la complejidad de las cuestiones subjetivas involucradas en la toma de decisión por la cirugía de la obesidad. A tal efecto, requiere un trabajo pautado en la interdisciplinaridad y una formación que valorice los aspectos biopsicosociales involucrados en la decisión por el tratamiento quirúrgico. DESCRIPTORESObesidad Cirugía bariátrica Salud de la mujer Investigación cualitativa RESUMOObjetivo: Compreender o processo de tomada de decisão da mulher obesa pela cirurgia bariátrica. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa com abordagem da fenomenologia social realizada em 2012, com 12 mulheres, utilizando-se a entrevista fenomenoló-gica. Resultados: A mulher fundamenta a decisão pela cirurgia na inadequação dos seus hábitos alimentares, na aparência fí-sica incompatível com a padronizada pela sociedade, no preconceito social vivenciado, nas limitações impostas pela obesidade e no insucesso das tentativas prévias de emagrecimento. Diante da decisão pela cirurgia tem como expectativas resgatar sua saúde, incluir-se socialmente e inserir-se no mercado de trabalho. Conclusão: O estudo permite refletir que as ações prescritivas não respondem à complexidade das questões subjetivas envolvidas na tomada de decisão pela cirurgia da obesidade. Para tanto, exige um trabalho pautado na interdisciplinaridade e uma formação que valorize os aspectos biopsicossociais envolvidos na decisão pelo tratamento cirúrgico. DESCRITORESObesidade Cirurgia bariátrica Saúde da mulher Pesquisa qualitativa ABSTRACTObjective: To understand the process by which an obese woman decides to have bariatric surgery. Method: A qualitative survey with a social phenomenology approach, carried out in 2012, with 12 women, using the phenomenological interview. Results: A woman bases the decision to have the surgery on: the inappropriateness of her eating habits; a physical appearance that is incompatible with an appearance that is standardized by society; the social prejudice that she has to live with; the limitations imposed by obesity; and her lack of success with previous attempts to lose weight. Outcomes that she hopes for from the decision to have the surgery include: restoring her health; achieving social inclusion; and entering the labor market. Conclusion: This study allows one to reflect that...
