The Internet, particularly blogs have become an important tool for patients to disseminate and exchange information on a variety of health topics, including bariatric surgery. By virtue of its interactivity being free of judgement from health care providers, blogs expose gaps in patients' knowledge and understanding.
This study analyzes the main doubts expressed in blogs by patients in the postoperative period of bariatric surgery.
This is a qualitative exploratory study of 11 blogs of patients, who underwent bariatric surgery, that were available on the Internet between October 2013 and May 2017. The data were collected through a structured instrument and analyzed according to Bardin's suggestions. The sampling method used was intentional.
Evolution of diet, weight loss, plateau effect, weight regain, physical exercises, physiological changes, complications, use of contraceptive and pregnancy were the main areas of concern.
More needs to be done to educate and prepare bariatric patients for the postoperative period. The content found in blogs serves towards building better links with patients, helps them make better decisions, and provides them an opportunity to be active participants in their own treatment.
互联网，尤其是博客，已成为患者传播和交流各种健康话题信息的重要工具，包括减肥手术。由于其互动性且不受医疗保健提供者的评判，博客暴露了患者知识和理解方面的差距。
本研究分析减肥手术后患者在博客中表达的主要疑问。
这是一项对2013年10月至2017年5月期间互联网上11个减肥手术患者博客进行的定性探索性研究。数据通过结构化工具收集，并根据巴丁的建议进行分析。使用的抽样方法是有意抽样。
饮食演变、体重减轻、平台效应、体重反弹、体育锻炼、生理变化、并发症、避孕使用和怀孕是主要关注领域。
需要做更多工作来教育减肥手术患者并使其为术后阶段做好准备。博客中发现的内容有助于与患者建立更好的联系，帮助他们做出更好的决策，并为他们提供积极参与自身治疗的机会。
