Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis portfolio has three parts.The first is a systematic literature review, in which the psychological and social factors associated with successful weight loss after bariatric surgery are reviewed.The second part is an empirical paper, which investigates the experiences of women who have successfully lost weight following bariatric surgery, specifically with reference to changes in self-concept. Seven women were interviewed and emergent themes were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Nine subthemes were identified, clustered into three superordinate themes: (1) ‘obesity as socially unacceptable’, (2) ‘making a case for surgery’, and (3) ‘the slim self as socially acceptable’. Links to self-concept were made, and clinical implications were discussed.The third part of the portfolio comprises of the reflective statement and appendices.
