This prospective study involving 185 individuals who underwent bariatric surgery aimed to assess recovery and complications related to obesity. Postoperative complications were observed in 18.4% of participants, with hair loss (66.4%) and vitamin deficiency (55.1%) being the most common issues. Despite these complications, significant improvements were reported in psychological (60.5%), joint (48.6%), eating, and respiratory problems (46.4%; 43.2%). No significant relationship was found between the type of surgery and the need for revision surgery, complications, psychological support, or vitamin supplement use. The study underscores the importance of long-term health monitoring for bariatric surgery patients.
