Bariatric surgery: choosing the optimal procedure.
Choosing the right operation for weight loss continues to be a challenging and subjective process. In experienced hands, most operations have the ability to be successful in providing a given patient with meaningful weight loss and impart better health through loss of adiposity, amelioration of comorbidities, and improvement of overall quality of life.
