The editors review problems that the patients face in the perioperative period and in the long term, as well as their adjustments in lifestyle and healthcare management.The text is authored by authorities who participate in the multidisciplinary care of bariatric patients.
It will address the assessment and selection of patients' treatment before surgery, options for surgical intervention and postoperative medical management.
