They rediscover their bodies, have increased self-esteem, and see improvements in their social relationships and sexuality. These women feel seen, loved and desired, and now value their body image and femininity. As they go through continuous improvements following bariatric surgery, they gradually regain self-esteem, acceptance of their bodies and control over their sex life. Even though the women\u2019s partners benefit from these improvements, they seem to be afraid of being left.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12905-024-03014-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,13]],"date-time":"2024-03-13T08:55:42Z","timestamp":1710320142000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Sexuality and self-concept of morbidly obese women who are sexually attracted to men after bariatric surgery: a phenomenological study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Granero-Molina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda del Mar","family":"Jim\u00e9nez-Lasserrotte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristina","family":"Arias Hoyos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Torrente","family":"S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cayetano","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Sola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Dolores","family":"Ruiz-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"3014_CR1","unstructured":"WHO (World Health Organization).
