Aiming to analyse the ocurrence of weight regain in a public hospital in the Northeast, it was held a case study of a Bariatric Surgery Program, on the basis of medical records of patients operated in 10 years of operation of the service. During the period of three months of data collection it was possible to get 276 medical records, of which were obtained the following information about the patients operated in the Program: age, gender, origin, surgery time, the attending to medical consultations and the weight regain. These data collection revealed that has been a greater number of women operated; the age of the patients operated has ranged between 18 and 60 years old, with an increased concentration of operated patients in the 28-37 age group.
