Abstract

Bariatric Surgery has become one of the most successful and cost effective ways to manage the growing problem of obesity and its associated disorders. Today, close to 300 million adults worldwide are affected by obesity and the number is growing [1]. There are several options available in bariatric surgery and these are defined by certain principles. The procedures range from purely restrictive to purely malabsorptive, or a combination of both [2]. The most commonly performed bariatric procedures are the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and Laparoacopic roux en Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).
