Brief Summary

Weight regain in patients after bariatric surgery has been reported as one of the main failure factors of these surgeries, has important health consequences, such as the return of associated comorbidities, and, until that moment, needs effective treatment. Among its probable causes is the maintenance of dysfunctional eating behavior, even after the procedure. In this context, contemporary, evidence-based mindfulness training protocols focusing on health promotion and socio-emotional skills (compassionate training) have the potential to assist in self-regulation of eating behavior, reducing eating. dysfunctional and facilitating weight self-management. The aim of this study is to compare the preliminary efficacy and feasibility of the Mindfulness-Based Health Promotion (MBHP) and Attachment-Based Compassion Therapy (ABCT) programs in the eating behavior of post-weight regained bariatric patients. The study will be divided into two phases: a cross-analytical study with patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2012 and 2016, and a controlled and randomized study only with those who obtained weight regain, with mixed data collection. Regarding the intervention study, it is expected that there will be an improvement in eating behavior; weight, weight regain reversal, self-image classification; in the quality of life; and in the levels of mindfulness, self-pity and anxiety of these patients. This study hopes to gather preliminary evidence on the effectiveness of mindfulness and compassion training for the adjuvant treatment of weight regain in post-bariatric patients.

Interventions

Structured and developed over eight weeks (8 sessions), participants meet weekly for an average of 2 hours to experience the techniques and conceptual learning about mindfulness and can be adapted to one or 1.5 hour sessions. to be applicable within the contexts of health, education, and organizations. Plus participation in support groups offered by the bariatric surgery clinic with capacity for 40 participants, monthly attendance and duration of 2 hours. In these meetings, there is always the presence of a surgeon, a psychologist and another invited professional (endocrinologist, nutritionist, speech therapist or dentist), who give a thematic lecture and then there is the opening space for doubts and exchange of experiences.

Also known as: MBHP + TAU
Grup 1

It is a program based on one of the fundamental psychological constructs that explain individuals' interpersonal relationships, attachment styles. It lasts 8 weeks in which participants meet for 2 or 2.5 hours at each meeting.
