Research topics

My research deals with the question of whether or not an obese person decides to undergo bariatric surgery: when, how, when and how this decision is made; how the expectation and impact of this decision contributes to the reconfiguration of the person's own posture (identity/medical) within the course of his or her life; and how this decision impacts the person in his or her relationships with those around him or her.

Provisional title of my thesis:
Effect of the entourage's gaze on the need to lose weight and recourse to bariatric surgery. Study of the issues involved in the decision to undergo weight-loss surgery and the support it provides.
Key words: Obesity, weight loss, bariatric surgery, bodily and social transformations, entourage, decision.
