Participated in the study 14 health professionals submitted to surgery bariatric. Sample was obtained by snowball technique. An analysis of the WHOQOL-Bref showed that professionals evaluated their quality of life as good (64.3%) or very good (35.7%), revealed excellent levels of satisfaction and good repercussions on daily activities, work and self-image after surgery.
