title: [The role of the bariatric nurse coordinator].
abstract: The complexity of the preparation of patients for bariatric surgery, combined with the requirement for the lifelong follow-up of all patients having undergone such a procedure, show the need for the coordination of the patient pathway by a specific healthcare professional: the bariatric nurse coordinator. A pilot experiment carried out in two integrated obesity centres provides perspectives for the care, research, training and certification of nurses involved in these programmes.
