ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how psychological factors can affect the success of bariatric surgery in people with severe obesity. Researchers are looking at data from patients who completed a specific personality questionnaire before their surgery. They want to see how these psychological factors, such as anxiety, depression, and body image, relate to changes in weight after surgery. By understanding these connections, the goal is to develop better support and treatment strategies for patients before they have surgery, which could lead to better outcomes.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to have severe obesity and have been evaluated for bariatric surgery. They must have completed the personality questionnaire at some point between January 2014 and December 2023. The study is open to all genders and is currently recruiting participants. Those who join the study can expect to share their experiences and personal information related to their weight and mental health, which will help researchers find ways to improve care for future patients. It’s important to note that individuals who are unable to understand the study or who have certain legal protections may not be eligible to participate.
