Description
Xuhui Chen and co-authors ask people who had weight-loss surgery in China what they expected, feared, and hoped for, in a 2025 study. Such surgery is growing more common, yet patient views in China have barely been studied.
Sixty-eight patients from four hospitals answered open-ended questions. Most had tried and failed to lose weight by dieting first. Fears centered on complications and long-term effects. Hopes ranged from weight loss to better health, daily life, and mood. Patients wanted clear detail on the operation, its risks, and care afterward. They also asked for counseling before surgery and steady follow-up after. The authors urge care teams to meet these varied needs.
