Objectives: To determine the lifestyle in patients with morbid obesity in a previous group and in a group after performing bariatric surgery.

Material and methods: Cross-sectional study in two groups of patients with morbid obesity one before and one after bariatric surgery attended in the Clinical Management Unit of Endocrinology and Nutrition of the Puerta del Mar Hospital in Cádiz. The clinical and analytical data of the patients, the sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyles are collected.

Results and conclusions: Some 111 patients with morbid obesity were collected before and after the surgical intervention: (31.5% males, 68.5% females) and operated patients (29.9% males and 70.1% females). Before surgery, the average weight was 133.4 kg (SD 24.4) and the BMI 48.6 kg/m2 (SD 7.0), and in the patients treated, it was 94.9 kg (SD 19.8) and BMI 34.5 kg/m2 (6.5). There are statistically significant differences between both groups in terms of habits and lifestyle: tobacco consumption (21.1% vs 7.1%), alcohol consumption (21.1% vs 17.4%), physical exercise (55.0% vs 82.6%), hours of physical exercise (4.75 h/week vs 5.9), eating habits such as snacking (35.5 vs 19.8%), fast food consumption (56.5% vs 11.9%), and increase in meals/day from 3 to 5. We observed statistically significant differences in lifestyle both before and after bariatric surgery, which could contribute to maintenance, improved prognosis and good patient evolution.
