Study population: The study population consists of adults who underwent bariatric surgery, predominantly sleeve gastrectomy, in a socioeconomically deprived area. Participants were selected retrospectively and evaluated at an average of 2.3 years post-surgery. The group included 133 individuals, with a majority being women (approximately 88%), and an average age of 45 years (range: 19-67 years). All participants completed standardized questionnaires assessing deprivation (EPICES score), quality of life and social factors (BAROS score), and satisfaction with outcomes. The population is characterized by severe obesity prior to surgery (mean BMI of 42.7 kg/m²).
Who may be able to join
- Patients who underwent bariatric surgery (mainly sleeve gastrectomy).
- Follow-up duration of approximately 2.3 ± 0.1 years after surgery.
- Residing in a deprived area (context of the study).
- Adults (participants were aged between 18 and 67 years).
Who cannot join
- Patients who did not undergo bariatric surgery.
- Missing or incomplete data (e.g., unanswered questionnaires).
- Patients outside the follow-up period (less or more than 2.3 years post-surgery).
- Possibly: Minors (<18 years old).

About this study
This study looked at how bariatric surgery (weight-loss surgery) affects people's chances of getting a job, especially in a low-income area. Researchers followed 133 patients (mostly women, average age 45) about 2 years after their surgery. Most had a type of surgery called sleeve gastrectomy and lost a significant amount of weight.
They found that 19 people got a job after surgery, but 3 also became unemployed. People who were already employed before surgery had better results on satisfaction and well-being scores. Interestingly, finding a new job after surgery wasn't linked to weight loss, age, or sex. Also, being poor (measured by the EPICES score) didn't affect employment outcomes. However, people who felt more socially isolated were less likely to lose weight successfully.
