PEREZ HORNERO, Jesús; GASTANADUY TILVE, Maria José y BASANTA MATOS, Rocío. Psychological evaluation after bariatric surgery. Pap. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.1, pp.43-53. Epub 10-Mayo-2021. ISSN 1886-1415. https://dx.doi.org/10.23923/pap.psicol2020.2916.
The aim of this paper is to reflect on the evaluation, follow-up, and psychological support of morbidly obese patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. We have carried out a bibliographic review of the current situation on this subject and we present our monitoring model, defining the variables that it is necessary to evaluate and the areas in which these patients need support. The number of publications on these aspects is increasing, and there is growing evidence of the emergence of an eating pathology after bariatric surgery, which hinders the expected weight loss. Finally, this work attempts to justify the importance of the follow-up of these patients after surgery, beyond limiting ourselves to presurgical selection and preparation, as well as the need to adapt diagnostic criteria and evaluation instruments to this specific population.
