Body Contouring After Bariatric Surgeries in Jordan

Overview

This study aimed to describe Jordanians' awareness and knowledge of body-contouring surgeries and estimate their prevalence. Additionally, we aimed to identify the limitations reported by our population and compare them with those reported in the literature.

We aimed to reach out to 351 patients who underwent bariatric surgery at JUH as well as an additional 100 patients who underwent BS at one of the largest private medical facilities in Amman between January and June of 2021. We distributed a validated questionnaire to all patients. Of the 451 patients, 305 completed the questionnaire (response rate: 67.6%). The inclusion criteria were age 13-63 years, BS type (sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y bypass), and completion of the questionnaire. Responses that did not meet these criteria or contained duplicates were excluded (n=11). The remaining 294 responses were collected and entered into a database for the analysis.Three main variables were assessed in each group in addition to multiple other observations. The main variables were sex, marital status, and employment status.
