Abstract

Obesity continues to grow at alarming rates in the USA despite educational and local government efforts to reduce caloric intake and increase activity. The rise in obesity is coupled with a rise in the number of morbidly obese people. Laparoscopic bariatric surgery is the best option to treat morbid obesity at this time because of the reduction in perioperative risks over the past decade as well as the long-term weight loss outcomes. Patients are selected for weight loss surgery based on their overall health profile, their ability to be compliant with a perioperative program as well as lifelong behavior modification. Weight loss surgery outcomes are improved with standardized pathways and a guided perioperative workup. A synopsis of patient selection criteria and the different types of weight loss procedures is provided.
