Description
Summary:Body image is a multidimensional, dynamic and socially influenced construct. The aim of this research was to analyze the experiences associated to body image in women with obesity type I after 2-5 years undergoing bariatric surgery (BS). In this qualitative-descriptive study were included 20 women (21-49 years old) with obesity type I, 13 of them with regaining weight. Data were obtained through semi-structured interview and was analyzed based on six categories: Emotions associated with body, Body satisfaction and like/dislike with body parts, Avoidance of daily activities because of the body figure, Discomfort with the own body with the opposite sex/general people, Comparison with other women considering the body figure, and Perception associated to the minimum weight. Regarding the patients who did not regain weight, they have a positive emotionality and general satisfaction with their body image. As a general conclusion, an increase in body satisfaction was identified, due to the decrease in body volume. However, the dissatisfaction persists, moving to specific areas and aspects of the body. Therefore, it is confirmed that body weight reduction does not necessarily predict the reduction of body dissatisfaction. La imagen corporal es un constructo multidimensional, dinámico e influido socialmente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la vivencia acerca de la imagen corporal de mujeres con obesidad tipo I después de 2-5 años de haber sido sometidas a cirugía bariátrica (CB). En este estudio cualitativo, de carácter descriptivo, participaron 20 mujeres (21-49 años de edad) con obesidad tipo I, 13 de ellas con reganancia de peso. Los datos fueron recabados a través de entrevista semi-estructurada, y se analizaron en función de seis categorías: Emociones asociadas al cuerpo, Satisfacción corporal y zonas de agrado/desagrado, Evitación de actividades cotidianas por la figura, Cohibición por el cuerpo con sexo opuesto y/o personas en general, Comparación con otras mujeres respecto a la figura, y Percepción asociada al peso mínimo. Con relación a las pacientes que no reganaron peso, presentan una emocionalidad fundamentalmente positiva y de satisfacción general con su imagen corporal. Como conclusión general, se identifica un incremento de la satisfacción corporal, dada la disminución del volumen corporal; sin embargo la insatisfacción persiste, desplazándose a zonas y aspectos específicos del cuerpo. Por tanto, se confirma que la disminución de peso no nec
