Questionnaire forms were prepared to evaluate the changes in the skin who underwent bariatric surgery in the General Surgery clinic, We were recorded by questioning one year before and one year after the surgery. Their satisfaction with the skin changes before and after the surgery was evaluated. A total of 51 patients, eight men (15.7%) and fourty three (84.3%) women, included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 32.8 years. The preoperative mean body weight of the patients was 119.7 kg. The mean fol low-up time was 15.4 months.
