Determinants of the Long-Term Success of Bariatric Surgery
Determinants of the Long-Term Success of Bariatric Surgery
The management of obesity is based on a multidisciplinary approach and justifies the use of
 surgery in patients with the most severe forms. Surgery for obesity or bariatric surgery
 generally allows rapid and significant weight loss however it is associated with significant
 risks, and its long-term results remain heterogeneous and unpredictable. Long-term data will
 clarify the role of different types of bariatric surgery in surgical strategy, improve
 patient information and identify predictors of failure in order to provide personalised and
 tailored surgery for each candidate .
Currently, there is insufficient data to determine the persistence over time of the positive
 results of bariatric surgery on weight loss. Moreover, there is no consensus or criteria for
 choosing one surgical weight loss procedure over another. The best choice for one patient may
 not be the most appropriate for another.

 The results of this project will allow to better select obese patients likely to benefit from
 bariatric surgery, and to further personalise the management of severe obesity.
