| Abstract: | Background There is a controversy about the best way to report results after bariatric surgery. Several indices have been proposed over
the years such as percentage of total weight loss (%TWL), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), and percentage of excess
body mass index loss (%EBMIL). More recently, it has been suggested to individualize the body mass index (BMI) goal to be
achieved by the patients (predicted BMI—PBMI). The objective was to assess the reproducibility of this PBMI in our service. |
