Resumo: ObjectiveThis qualitative, cross-sectional study aimed to understand the social representations of obesity and the weight loss process in women who underwent bariatric surgery.MethodSixteen post-bariatric surgery (between 3 and 12 months post-surgery) women participated in semi-structured, face-to-face and individual interviews. The Thematic Analysis of Braun and Clarke (2006) was carried out to evaluate the data.ResultsIt were identifying 15 codes, 11 sub-themes, grouped into 3 themes: 1) Obesity: “The monster of contemporary society”; 2) “Today is different from what it was before”: Re-signifying eating; and 3) I’m happy, very happy”: The emergence of a new life. It was observed that the low tolerance to obesity in contemporary times implies the perception that people with obesity not worthy living in society. Thus, bariatric surgery is seen as the solution to the problem, as a way to feel ‘normal’ and visible, through a more socially accepted body. ConclusionThe discourse on health, linked to physical limitations, as the main justification for performing the surgery, seems to be overlaid by esthetic issues in the weight loss process.

ConclusionThe discourse on health, linked to physical limitations, as the main justification for performing the surgery, seems to be overlaid by esthetic issues in the weight loss process.ObjetivoEsta pesquisa qualitativa, de corte transversal, objetivou compreender as representações sociais da obesidade e do processo de emagrecimento em mulheres que realizaram cirurgia bariátrica.MétodoDezesseis mulheres no pós-operatório (entre 3 e 12 meses) participaram das entrevistas semiestruturadas, presenciais e individuais. A análise dos dados foi feita pela Análise Temática de Braun e Clarke (2006).ResultadosForam identificados 15 códigos e 11 subtemas, agrupados em 3 temas: 1) Obesidade: “O monstro da sociedade contemporânea”; 2) “Hoje é diferente do que era antes”: Ressignificando o comer; e 3) “Tô feliz, muito feliz”: O surgimento de uma vida nova. Os temas externalizaram a baixa tolerância às pessoas com obesidade na contemporaneidade, que implica na percepção de que elas não são dignas de conviver em sociedade. Assim, a cirurgia bariátrica é vista como a solução do problema- um meio para sentir-se ‘normal’ e visível, pela aproximação com um corpo mais aceito socialmente.ConclusãoO discurso sobre saúde, atrelado às limitações físicas, como justificativa principal para a realização da cirurgia, parece ser sobreposto pelas questões estéticas no processo de emagrecimento.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-10-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10060Psychological Studies; Vol. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPengporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10060/7420https://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10060/7421Copyright (c) 2023 Ana Flávia de Sousa SILVA, Taiane Freitas LIMA, Carolina LEONIDAS, Camila Cremonezi JAOUR, Fernanda Rodrigues de Oliveira PENAFORTE https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSILVA, Ana Flávia de SousaLIMA, Taiane FreitasLEONIDAS, CarolinaJAOUR, Camila CremoneziPENAFORTE , Fernanda Rodrigues de Oliveira2024-04-23T10:36:29Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/10060Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-04-23T10:36:29Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
