Configurando cuerpos bariátricos: explorando la cirugía más allá del hospital
Resumen
La cirugía bariàtrica deviene en muchos casos la última alternativa terapéutica para pacientes con obesidad mórbida grave. Basándose en una etnografía hospitalaria en la unidad de cirugía bariátrica, este artículo pretende explorar la configuración de los cuerpos para que la misma cirugía mantenga su status de tratamiento válido más allá del quirófano. Sin embargo, lo que en términos de restauración médica se llaman efectos colaterales, en términos de configuración corporal son nuevas relaciones semiótico-materiales que tienen en el quirófano su punto de partida. El sistema digestivo bariátrico no necesariamente encajará en el complejo de relaciones que lo sustenten tras dejar el hospital: el paciente deberá afrontar la (dis)capacidad de comer pequeñas porciones de comida y una deteriorada capacidad para absorber nutrientes.
