The aim of the present study was to assess pre- and postoperative psychiatric disorders and their associations with pre- and postoperative HRQOL. Method Data were assessed before n 127 and one year after surgery n 87 . Psychiatric disorders were assessed by Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview . and Structured Clinical Interview SCID-II . HRQOL was assessed by the Short Form 36 SF-36 questionnaire. Results Significant improvements were found in HRQOL from preoperative assessment to follow-up one year after surgery. For the total study population the degree of improvement was statistically significant p values .001 for seven of the eight SF-36 subscales from preoperative assessment to follow-up one year after surgery. Patients without psychiatric disorders had no impairments in postoperative HRQOL and patients with psychiatric disorders that resolved after surgery had small impairments on two of the eight SF-36 subscales compared to the population norm all effect sizes .5 at follow-up one year after surgery. Patients with psychiatric disorders that persisted after surgery had impaired HRQOL at follow-up one year after surgery compared to the population norm with effect sizes for the differences from moderate to large all effect sizes .6 . Conclusion This study reports the novel finding that patients without postoperative psychiatric disorders achieved a HRQOL comparable to the general population one year after bariatric surgery .
