The clinical picture is complex, which can hinder the use of conventional treatments and methods. Bariatric surgery is an effective long-term treatment for this condition. Based on a literature review, the article aims to discuss the importance of post-bariatric psychological and nutritional follow-up.

Although bariatric surgery contributes to the improvement in the quality of life of patients, there needs to be greater attention to postoperative treatment. These individuals should be encouraged to continue with nutritional and psychological follow-up in the postoperative period, so that it is possible to prevent possible complications in the medium and long term.
