Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity, which has been increasing worldwide. However, bariatric surgery causes dramatic physical changes that can cause significant stress.

However, most prior studies have been limited by small sample sizes, inconsistent follow up, and categorical assessment of psychopathology.
