What this Trial Is About
An emerging alternative to bariatric surgery for the treatment of obesity is bariatric endoscopic gastroplasty (gve), which offers a less invasive approach with fewer complications. however, the weight loss achieved through this technique is generally lower than that achieved with traditional bariatric surgery, leaving the impact on patients' quality of life uncertain. the aim of this multicentre exploratory descriptive study is to investigate the perception of the quality of life of patients with obesity undergoing gve, conducted at the complex operative unit of surgical digestive endoscopy of the university policlinico Agostino Gemelli IRCCS foundation as the promoting centre. italian patients over 18 years old, in post-gve follow-up for at least six months, with access to and familiarity with a computer or tablet will be included. data will be collected via a single semi-structured interview on microsoft teams, audio recorded and transcribed in full, and analysed using nvivo v1.6.2.32. participants' statements will be categorised into semantic categories and subsequently refined into sub-themes and themes through an iterative process.
