Abstract
The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge and willingness of preoperative bariatric surgery patients to participate in self-compassion- and mindfulness-based attention training to modify their eating behaviors. Patients received feasibility questionnaires including sociodemographic and willingness questions. Based on these results, it was determined that participants had a high degree of knowledge related to self-compassion and mindfulness with confidence to perform mindfulness and self-compassion exercises without many perceived barriers. Self-compassion and mindfulness are holistic modalities that could easily be integrated into bariatric programs, and this study affirms that patients may accept noninvasive tools that encourage preoperative weight loss and postoperative maintenance of weight loss.
