Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study looked at how bariatric surgery (weight-loss surgery) affects people's chances of getting a job, especially in a low-income area. Researchers followed 133 patients (mostly women, average age 45) about 2 years after their surgery. Most had a type of surgery called sleeve gastrectomy and lost a significant amount of weight.

They found that 19 people got a job after surgery, but 3 also became unemployed. People who were already employed before surgery had better results on satisfaction and well-being scores. Interestingly, finding a new job after surgery wasn't linked to weight loss, age, or sex. Also, being poor (measured by the EPICES score) didn't affect employment outcomes. However, people who felt more socially isolated were less likely to lose weight successfully.
