This article describes the care in health professionals’ practices in bariatric surgery. This qualitative study was carried out from a database of interviews with health professionals. The thematic analysis demonstrated two categories: the valuation of the obese body and feeding; and the pursuit of a relationship shared between professional, user and institution. In the first one, the values of obese body and unhealthy diet were highlighted; in the second, professionals recognized that is necessary to hold the user co-responsible, to use different ways of acting to signify the surgery and its impacts, and that the integrated team mode collaborates to the caring action. We conclude that although the biomedical culture prevails, and thus biomedical care is the most considered, there was also some consideration of socio-cultural aspects in the performance of care to people in the context of bariatric surgery, therefore allying care in their practices.
