Abstract

Findings : bariatric surgery improved body image during the first year, and post-surgery patients are 5 times likely to have positive body image than pre-operative (p < 0.01). There is a need for psychological care for preoperative patients, since number of patients from pre-bariatric surgery group shown symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder. Further research is needed regarding psycho-social factors that could have an impact on body image. Novelty: This is an original research. Data was collected by body image questionnaire. Analysis was done using SPSS with significance level set at p < 0.05. t-test was used to compare the mean body image scores, higher the scores reflecting higher body image impairment.
