However, weight loss methods have been very diverse, especially food deprivation (65%). The use of the medicine (80%) and the use of tea or herbal (80%) as the most common methods. The weight loss by these methods was not significant, however, loss in overweight occurred most frequently 3 to 6 months ( 55%); 64.28 % of patients associated medicine with diet. Health (45%) was identified as the main reason for the surgery. However, the weight loss was around 39% in 17 months after surgery. Patients have changed the lifestyle for a healthier routine (90%) and left old habits (70%). Therefore, the diverse background of techniques to lose weight, indicated lower efficacy, mainly due to the clinical medical condition of severe obesity in these patients and in this context bariatric surgery showed huge benefits.
