Abstract

After bariatric surgery, some individuals may experience long-term weight regain due to problematic eating patterns and the reduced number of post-surgery medical appointments. Therefore, the need for continued monitoring during this period is highlighted. Thus, APOLO-Bari emerges, an intervention developed with the aim of following and monitoring post-surgical results. It became an objective to test its efficacy, test how the TFEQ-21 correlates among themselves and with other variables and verify if adherence is a differentiating factor in the results. The study includes two groups: the control group (n = 113), which received the usual post-surgical treatment, and the intervention group (n = 38), which received the usual treatment and APOLO-Bari. Reductions in anxiety, depression, stress and grazing were observed in the intervention group, contrary to the control group. Adherence did not impact the results obtained at the end of the program.
