Abstract

This work is focused on the analysis of nutritional feeding behaviors on morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery at Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital in the city of Guayaquil, from January 2016 to January 2017. This research is based on an observational design retrospective study, with a quantitative approach, of explanatory cope, from which we proceeded to the collection of information from the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital database in Guayaquil. The total sample was 121 patients (83 men and 38 women) of both genders between the ages of 25 to 61 years old, who underwent bariatric surgery of By-pass and gastric sleeve, the sample includes people with morbid obesity. The satisfactory indicator presented in this study is the weight change of the patients, the evolution was studied on clinical histories evidencing the progress of the patient. We discovered the lack of an established nutritional guide for postsurgical patients during the analysis of the medical records, at the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital, which is why we developed a standardized guide for postoperative patients as a strategy to avoid malnutrition, ensuring the well-being and the quality of life of the patient.
