Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of psychological issues in morbidly obese patients considering bariatric surgery and their impact on surgical outcomes.
- A total of 145 patients participated, undergoing various psychological assessments before and after surgery, with observed improvements in depression, anxiety, and specific eating disorder indicators.
- The results highlighted three key predictors of positive surgical outcomes: lower depression scores, higher impulsiveness, and an inclination toward thinness, suggesting psychological factors significantly influence recovery after surgery.
