Abstract

Introduction: Obesity causes sleep disorders in patients, but on the other hand, bariatric surgery, contrary to popular belief, causes different results on sleep disorders. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the quality of sleep and drowsiness before and after bariatric surgery.

After obtaining patient satisfaction and recording demographic information, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire, BANG-STOP Sleep Apnea Questionnaire, scale Sleepiness Epworth were recorded. Independent t and paired t-tests and Mann-Whitney were used to compare the data.
Results: The results of our study showed that bariatric surgery significantly improved sleep quality, reduced sleep apnea and the severity of daily drowsiness, and this improvement was more effective in people under 50 years of age and with a BMI of more than 35.
Conclusion: It can be found that weight loss through bariatric surgery improves patients 'sleep and this is accompanied by an increase in patients' quality of life.
