Overview

Bariatric surgery is a group of weight-loss procedures that modify the digestive system, typically by reducing stomach capacity or altering nutrient absorption, to treat severe obesity in people who have not achieved sustained weight loss through diet and lifestyle change. Common operations include sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and related interventions such as intragastric balloon placement are also used in Obesity Management. The field is clinically important because obesity is associated with serious comorbidities, and surgical treatment can produce substantial and durable weight reduction with improvements in metabolic health, while also carrying risks that require careful patient selection and follow-up. Research published under this topic examines surgical and device-based outcomes, including sequential intragastric balloon treatment in patients with super obesity and predictive markers for weight loss following gastric bypass. A recurring theme is post-surgical nutrition: studies address nutritional deficiencies in pregnancy after surgery for morbid obesity and Wernicke encephalopathy after sleeve gastrectomy, underscoring the need for micronutrient monitoring. Other articles explore the broader physiology and context of obesity, including adipose tissue biology, body composition and skeletal muscle mass in severe obesity, dietary approaches to weight reduction, energy expenditure estimation, obesity in schizophrenia, and obesity-related conditions such as obstructive sleep apnoea. Together they situate bariatric surgery within comprehensive, multidisciplinary obesity care.
