Abstract

Introduction: The improvement in anxiety symptoms after bariatric surgery may not remain stable in the long term, favoring the adoption of dysfunctional eating behaviors. Objective: To test the correlation between anxiety level and weight recurrence in women in the late postoperative period of bariatric and metabolic surgery. Methods: Fifty adult women with at least 24 months after bariatric and metabolic surgery were evaluated. Sociodemographic data (age, income and level of education) and psychological monitoring were collected. Anthropometric data (weight and height) were measured. To assess the level of anxiety symptoms, the Beck Anxiety Inventory was used. Results: A mean age of 40.9±11.4 years was found. All had moderate to severe anxiety symptoms. Those who were without psychological support had higher body weight (p=0.049) and greater recurrence of weight (p=0.040). There was a positive correlation between the anxiety score and body weight recurrence, and a negative correlation between the anxiety score and family income. In the linear regression model, the correlation between anxiety score and weight recurrence (B=0.276; CI 0.003; 0.594; p=0.048) and income (B=-0.310; CI -0.004; 0.000; p=0.027) remained significant. However, when adding the variable “surgery time”, there was a loss of significance between anxiety and weight recurrence (B=0.270; CI -0.040; -0.624; p=0.083), but the correlation with income was maintained (B=-0.310; CI -0.004; -0.000; p=0.029). Conclusions: We emphasize the importance of financial support in the postoperative period, due to treatment costs, in addition to maintaining monitoring with the multidisciplinary team in the long term.
