O movimento da pulsão oral em mulheres que se submeteram à cirurgia bariátrica

Abstract

Obesity is considered nowadays a pathology that affects a growing number of people, reason for which it s called the millennium disease. It mobilizes the attention of public healthy services, which invest continuously in research to control it. The bariatric surgery presents as an efficient method to control obesity through the intervention of a multi-professional team, composed by a surgeon, a psychologist, a nutritionist and a nurse, that take care of the patient during the pre-chirurgical phase and, afterwards, during the post-chirurgical one. The aim of our research was to investigate the movement of the oral compulsion in women that were submitted to the bariatric surgery. We searched the subjective aspects that always appear in the losing weight process in which it s necessary a change in the ways of the oral satisfaction. We observed, therefore, the effects of the physical intervention in a compulsional body. In so doing, we restricted our analysis among the women for the reason that, in the Hospital da Polícia Militar de Pernambuco, place where the study was conducted, it was them that claimed more for the surgery and also because the women presented more difficulties after the surgery than the men. It s a research that focuses on the interaction between the theory and the clinics, which referential is the psychoanalytic one. Henceforth, we described the cases of three patients accompanied by the researcher before and after the surgery. Afterwards, we analyzed all the material collected. In all the cases it was verified that the physical intervention, although necessary to the patients weight control, was not sufficient to promote changes in the compulsional body. We concluded proving the importance of the psychotherapeutic process, which enabled the changes in the compulsional body of each patient.
