Background: The authors assessed the quality of life (QOL) of patients after the Magenstrasse and Mill (MM) procedure for morbid obesity (MO) and compared this with the QOL of MO patients and non-obese controls.Methods: Personal, postal and telephone questionnaire survey was completed by 82 patients after the M-M procedure, 35 MO patients and 20 normal controls. QOL was assessed by Short Form 36 (SF-36), Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale, and obesity surgery related questionnaire.Results: Physical, social and psychological wellbeing of patients was substantially better after the M-M compared with their MO counterparts. After the M-M procedure, patients were significantly less depressed but remained anxious when compared with morbidly obese patients. The majority of patients (88%) were pleased with the result of surgery.Conclusion: This study provides empirical evidence that the M-M procedure for MO leads to a substantially better QOL.
