Abstract
Background: Different types of bariatric surgery can treat patients with morbid obesity. This survey analysis aimed to identify the lifestyle changes before and after bariatric surgery from patientsÂ’ perspectives, in addition to the risk of complications after surgery.
Methodology: A self-administered structured questionnaire was distributed in 2019 among patients who had bariatric surgery in the western region of Saudi Arabia. The survey included questions on the reason for undergoing bariatric surgery, social problems faced before surgery, and satisfaction after surgery, in addition to the demographics of the participants.
Results: A total of 100 patients were included in this study, where 78% of the patients had gastrectomy with a vertical gag. Before surgery, 43% of patients had medical reasons for making the decision to undergo surgery. After surgery, 73% of patients did not have complications, whereas 43% suffered from malnutrition. About 8% of patients described that operation poorly affected their appetite, bowel habits, and dietary lifestyle, whereas 57% of patients found that the operation positively affects their social life, and 60% believed that the operation significantly increased their self-confidence and self-esteem. In general, 89% of the patients were satisfied, and the type of operation had a significant influence on the patients' satisfaction (p-value = 0.002), where the highest satisfaction rates were reported with adjustable gastric banding.
Conclusion: Bariatric surgery had positive implications on the lifestyle and bowel habits of patients, with high satisfaction rates. The surgery also showed psychological and medical benefits for patients with less complications.

Key words: Lifestyle, bowel habits, bariatric surgery, Saudi Arabia.
