Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe a health education meeting based on group discussion during a nursing appointment with patients who are waiting to perform bariatric surgery. Methods: This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach performed in July 2017 at a referral hospital in the State of Ceará-Brazil in the performance of bariatric surgeries. Twelve subjects participated and the data collection took place through self-completion of a semi-structured interview. Data analysis was performed according to the content analysis proposed by Bardin (2009). Results: It was observed that the participants considered that the group discussion allows interaction among the group and favors the construction of common knowledge. Conclusions: It was concluded that group discussion is a favorable methodology to be used during health education in nursing appointments, because it allows the sharing of doubts and experiences among the participants.
