Psychological and physical adaptation to jejunoileal bypass surgery for obesity was evaluated in 55 patients observed 15 months to 6 1/2 years postoperatively after a weight loss of about 50 Kg. The response to weight loss, as assessed by a comprehensive, structured questionnaire was an improvement in working capacity, interpersonal relationship, leisure time activity and adjustment to daily life.
