Obesity is one of the most prevalent problems worldwide today, with the incidence fast increasing. As such, bariatric surgery is becoming a valuable alternative solution for those who have failed to lose weight by conservative means. Alongside obesity exist multiple comorbidities, both physical and mental, which have a significant affect upon the patient and need to be addressed before, during and after any operative intervention. This article outlines the problems associated with obesity, and discusses the most common operations in terms of risks and benefits. Finally, it explores the postoperative considerations that must be taken into account before embarking upon weight loss surgery. |
