About

Mindfulness is a common practice already widely used, that has shown benefits in terms of psychological and physical health. It is about learning or learn again to be self present and aware to the environment, across breathing, sensations, emotions and thought centering exercises, in the present moment without any judgement.

The goal is to evaluate the efficacy of "mindfulness" versus an active control group in bariatric surgery.
