Excerpt

Obesity is a well-recognized global health problem, and bariatric surgery (BS)-induced weight reduction has been demonstrated to improve survival and obesity-related conditions [1]. Indeed, contrary to lifestyle modifications and dietary programs, BS is becoming an increasingly accepted treatment for severe obesity [2] because it results in massive and sustained weight loss with consequent improvements in health and disease outcomes [3, 4]. …
