Brief Summary

The therapeutic problem of obesity is weight control, a major difficulty, involving a significant change in eating behavior. A number of studies show that there are many factors of resistance to weight loss whether they are physiological, genetic, environmental pressure related, or psychological and behavioral. For some patients, the surgical approach seems the best alternative. Indeed, bariatric surgery is an effective therapeutic weapon in patients with morbid obesity. However, it has been shown that approximately 25% of patients are failing at two years of this surgery (Reinhold's index). Some of the failed subjects may benefit from surgical revision. As for the others, no intervention is currently proposed to them. Studies have shown that the psychological profile of patients who are candidates for bariatric surgery is predominantly impulsive, very anxious with a tendency to depression. The stress level of these patients would be important, and they would have low self-esteem. This study hypothesize that, in these patients, the establishment of hypnotherapeutic management associated with the usual dietary monitoring could modify eating habits thus promoting weight loss and an improvement in self-esteem , stress and anxiety compared to dietary monitoring alone.

There are still no studies assessing the impact of hypnotherapeutic management and self-hypnosis on the weight curve, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, or the quality of life of patients Obese in failure of bariatric surgery.

It is an Interventional, prospective, multi-center, controlled, randomized, open-label study with 2 parallel arms, evaluating the efficacy of hypnotherapeutic management in patients with bariatric surgery failure, compared to dietary monitoring alone.

Number of visits: 13 visits are planned: 1 visit of inclusion, a visit ensuring the first dietary follow-up, 9 hypnosis sessions (for the experimental group), two visits dedicated to the collection of the judgment criteria. Each patient is followed for 12 months.

The estimated duration of recruitment is 18 months.

Usual CareStandard CareThe control group will benefit from a standard care dietary consultation in the service and 9 dietary consultations by phone every 15 days.
HypnosisHypnosisThe experimental group will benefit from a dietary consultation in the service, 9 dietary consultations by telephone every 15 days to which will be associated 7 individual sessions of hypnosis and 3 individual sessions of learning to autohypnosis. A recording containing the induction of a self-hypnosis session will be given to the subject at the end of the 10 sessions, in order to promote the continuation of home-made autohypnosis.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in weight in 5 months5 months

Patient weight (in kg) measurement will be performed on the same scale by staff who are unaware of the patient's randomization group.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feeding behavior12 months

It will be evaluated by the TFEQ-R21 (Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire) self-questionnaire (Cappelleri et al, 2009).

TFEQ has been validated in the general population and has been used in many studies. It explores three components of eating behavior: cognitive restriction, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating.

Change in weight in 12 months12 months

Patient weight (in kg) measurement will be performed on the same scale by staff who are unaware of the patient's randomization group.

Evolution of Quality of life12 months
