title: [Aftercare following bariatric surgery].
abstract: With the increase of patients after bariatric and metabolic surgery the long-term follow-up of this population will become a challenge. Bariatric patients require regular and life-long follow-up in order to affect the long-term achievements of this therapy in a positive way. For that reason bariatric patients should be followed in the first phase by a multidisciplinary team of the bariatric centre. Taking into account some fundamental considerations general practinioner should be involved in the care of these patients when a stable situation occured.
