RESUMO
Lifestyle and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are good markers of surgical obesity treatment. This study aimed to investigate the lifestyle and HRQoL of patients at least five years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in public (SUS) and private (PVT) Brazilian healthcare systems. In this cross-sectional study, weight loss (WL), % of excess WL (%EWL), diet quality, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and HRQoL were evaluated. Analysis of covariance, binary and multinomial logistic regression, adjusted for confounders, were performed. The SUS group had more vulnerable socioeconomic statuses than the PVT group. Total %WL and % EWL were 24.64 ± 0.99% and 60.46 ± 2.41%, respectively, without difference between groups. In the Pain/Discomfort and Anxiety/Depression domains of HRQoL, more than 50% reported moderate problems without differences between groups. Processed food ingestion was higher in the PVT (132.10 ± 60.15 g/1000 kcal) than in the SUS (103.43 ± 41.72 g/1000 kcal), however, without statistical significance (p = 0.093). The PVT group showed lower physical activity (OR: 0.23; 95%CI: 0.87-0.63; p = 0.004) and a higher risk of alcohol-related problems (OR: 3.23; 95%CI; 1.03-10.10; p = 0.044) compared to SUS group. Participants generally achieved satisfactory WL, regardless of healthcare systems. However, PVT participants had unfavorable lifestyle characteristics, highlighting the need for studies investigating environmental issues post-bariatric surgery.

PURPOSE: Pregnant women who have undergone bariatric surgery must be followed to ensure healthy mother-child nutritional status. This study aimed to compare weight status of mother-child dyad after maternal bariatric surgery in public and private Brazilian healthcare system units. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective matched case-control included 19 women who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery performed by the same private clinical surgical team and 19 age- and preoperative body mass index (BMI) matched patients from a public hospital. All 38 female patients reported a postoperative spontaneous pregnancy. The T test of independent samples and Pearson chi-square test were used to investigate inter-group differences. RESULTS: Patients in the private system were more frequently married (94.7% versus 68.4%, p = 0.036) and had a higher educational level (94.7% versus 36.8%, p = 0.01 for tertiary education) but lower BMI, compared with those in the public system (pre-gestational = 25.7 ± 3.2 versus 28.5 ± 5.0 kg/m2, p = 0.049; post-gestational = 24.6 ± 1.6 versus 29.0 ± 6.0 kg/m2, p = 0.040). The interval from bariatric surgery to conception was shorter among public system patients (21.1 ± 13.9 versus 43.4 ± 31.2 months, p = 0.009). In both groups, almost 90% of children were born at full term and with adequate weights. CONCLUSION: Despite differences in the characteristics of public and private systems, the mother-child dyads in both groups achieved satisfactory post-bariatric surgery gestation outcomes. The type of medical system does not appear to influence pregnancy outcomes or neonatal weight status conditions.
