Özet
Aim: Obesity is one of the most important health problems of our age. It causes serious psycho-social problems as well as medical problems. We aimed to investigate the preoperative and postoperative medical and psycho-social changes in patients undergoing obesity surgery. Methods: One hundred four patients, who underwent surgery between January 2016 and August 2016 and accepted to participate in the survey, were included in the study. Six questions were asked about the factors predicting the need for surgery as well as the medical and psychosocial changes after surgery. Results: When the results of the surgical procedures were examined, there was a statistically significant difference in only the fifth question between sleeve gastrectomy group and gastric bypass group (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found in other questions. All patients in the gastric bypass group discontinued medication after surgery. The result was statistically significant. Conclusions: Besides the positive medical results, we think that in the treatment of obesity, the role of surgery is increasing because of positive psycho-social outcomes in patients.
