Aim: To evaluate the degree of QOL in patients with MO before and after bariatric, surgery (Fobi-Capella reducing gastroplasty). Cases. Material and Methods: 95 morbidly obese(BMI > 40 kg/m2) or moderately obese (BNI 35 - 39 kg/m2) patients with co-morbidities were seen, followed up and given advice by the Nutrition, Psychology, Endocrinology and Surgery staff at the Federal University of Bahia Hospital.
