About this trial

* The main goal of this prospective longitudinal observational study is to investigate the psychophysiological indicators by analyzing HRV, blood pressure, symptoms of anxiety and depression, eating behavior and quality of life during the follow-up of the general health status of patients with obesity undergoing the bariatric surgery by Roux-en-Y reconstruction reduction gastroplasty (GRYR) technique. * The main question it aims to answer is: Does bariatric surgery changes the variables studied (HRV, anxiety, depression, eating behavior, quality of life)? * Type of study: prospective longitudinal observational study * Participant population: 50 patients, both females and males, aged between 18 and 60 years, will be submitted to bariatric surgery with Roux-en-Y reconstruction reduction gastroplasty technique.

Patients will be evaluated for five times: before the bariatric surgery and 3-6-12-24 months after the bariatric surgery.

Treatments tested in this trial

Holter Faros 360° EKG (Bittium Corporation)
Device
Patients will lie down on the examination table, a five-lead ECG will be attached to their chest, and they should rest for 5 minutes before starting the ECG recording. ECG data will be collected for a 15-minute period Heart Rate Variability (HRV) recording will be performed between 09:00 and 12:00 in a fixed examination room to minimize environmental factors and diurnal fluctuations in autonomic nervous system functioning.
Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)
Diagnostic test
The BDI assesses the depression severity. It will be administered before bariatric surgery at time T0 and 3-6-12-24 months after bariatric surgery (T1-T2-T3-T4).
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scales - HADS
Diagnostic test
The HADS assesses the anxiety and depression symptoms. It will be administered before bariatric surgery at time T0 and 3-6-12-24 months after bariatric surgery (T1-T2-T3-T4).
Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-R21 - TFEQ-R21
Diagnostic test
The TFEQ-R21assesses the quality of eating behavior. It will be administered before bariatric surgery at time T0 and 3-6-12-24 months after bariatric surgery (T1-T2-T3-T4).
hort-Form Health Survey-36 itens - SF-36
Diagnostic test
he TFEQ-R21assesses the quality of life Divided into different areas (functional capacity, general health status, pain, vitality, social aspects, emotional aspects, and mental health). It will be administered before bariatric surgery at time T0 and 3-6-12-24 months after bariatric surgery (T1-T2-T3-T4).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Bariatric surgery changes measures of heart rate variability of patients

Increased the parasympathetic activity measured through Respiratory sinus arrhythmia, High and low frequency (time domain measurements), and approximate entropy (non linear measurement) of the heart rate variability. Heart rate variability is recorded through Holter faros 360.
