title: Doctor, How Much Weight Will I Lose?-a New Individualized Predictive Model for Weight Loss.
abstract: Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for weight loss, but the patient's ability to reach a sustained weight loss depends upon several technical and individual factors. Creating an easy model that adapts bariatric surgery's weight loss goals for each patient is very important for pre-surgery and follow-up evaluations.
