Abstract Background Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is used for psychological screening of bariatric surgery (BS) candidates. To date, no studies have analyzed the relationship between MMPI-2 and early returns to hospital. The aim of this study was to determine whether high T scores on the MMPI-2 clinical scales were associated with early return to hospital after primary bariatric surgery. Methods Patients who completed an MMPI-2 evaluation, undergoing primary BS from 2014 to 2016 were evaluated. T score for the tested scales were collected and stratified into a high T score (T > 65) vs not (T 65. Patients were stratified based on the optimal cut-point which was determined to be ≥ 4 high T scores. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify differences between groups and predictors for early ED-visits and hospital readmissions. Results 375 patients had psychological evaluations available for review. Patients were divided into those with ≥ 4 high T scores (Scr(≥4); n = 86) versus not (Scr (
