A prospective randomized study of patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass will be
 randomized in 2 groups: those following an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program and
 those ones following a standard protocol. The ERAS program implies early liquids oral intake,

 associated with intravenous analgesia).

 Postoperative pain 24 hours after surgery, as measured by Visual Analogic Scale, and hospital
 stay will be assessed.
