“…These results are consistent with data reported in previous studies, highlighting that men are less likely to be metabolically healthy when they undergo surgery (Chang et al, 2014;Lee et al, 2015). Women, in turn, seek bariatric surgery as a treatment modality with comorbidities associated with less advanced stages of the disease, possibly, because they are more concerned with social and aesthetic standards (Pona, Heinberg, Lavery, Ben-Porath, & Rish, 2016;Steffen et al, 2012), although these aspects are not indication for surgery.…”

The preoperative stage of bariatric surgery requires that the patient be informed of the obesity-related comorbidities and the risks, benefi ts, and consequences of surgery. The study examined the preoperative risk perception of bariatric surgery in 128 patients with different comorbidities (heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, sleep apnea and dyslipidemia). Risk perception of surgery and associated comorbidities were evaluated using a risk perception questionnaire. Patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, systemic hypertension, and sleep apnea were signifi cantly more likely to perceive the risk of surgery compared to those with the other comorbidities. The results showed that educational interventions expand the risk perception of surgery, but independently of the perceived risk of the different comorbidities of obese patients. The study points to the possibility of identifying predictive factors of behavioral intention related to risk perception to improve short and long-term treatment outcomes in patients whose comorbidities are seen as posing no additional health risk.

“…It is a concept that is extremely relevant to research in obesity, as 74% of obese individuals have body image dissatisfaction and distortion (Lazzeretti et al., ). A study by Pona, Heinberg, Lavery, Ben‐Porath, and Rish () found that patients with pre‐existing mental health issues, such as depression or ideas of persecution were more likely to report body image concerns in the first 3 months after bariatric surgery, despite weight loss. Likewise, the “I‐position” may or may not be truly reflective of the bariatric patient's true physical size.…”

“…Regarding body image changes, we found some commonalities among the included studies. Concerns about body image, or a negative evaluation of body image by the patient, were associated with depressive symptoms, [28][29][30][31][32] presence of psychiatric symptoms, 28,33 greater functional inability due to excess skin, 34 loss of eating control, 30,35 and experiences of social discrimination and bullying. 36,37 In contrast, improvement in body image evaluation was associated with a decrease in compulsive eating symptoms, 38 reduction of BMI, 25,39,40 and percent excess weight loss.…”

Background: Bariatric surgery has been considered one of the main interventions for patients with morbid obesity. Body image has been a relevant variable to access the patient's level of satisfaction and weight loss expectations. This systematic review has the aim of verifying the most used measures to evaluate body image of bariatric surgery patients, as well as the main results regarding body image changes after surgery. Materials and Methods: This study followed the PRISMA standards, and the search was made on Medline, PsycINFO, and Scopus databases, using ''body image'' AND ''bariatric surgery'' as descriptors. Results: The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) was the most used instrument. Studies revealed a lack of measures that investigate relevant topics for the bariatric patient, for instance, excess skin. A negative perception of body image was associated with the presence of psychopathology, while the improvement of body image perception was related to a better quality of life after surgery. Conclusions: For multidisciplinary teams, it is important to use measures of body image evaluation, both specific and generic, to understand whether aesthetic motivations are such an important aspect of surgery expectations and eventually identify body image distortions that should be treated with psychological counseling.
