Abstract:
BENEFITS OF BARIATRIC SURGERY ON WEIGHT LOSS, DEVELOPMENT OF COMORBIDITIES AND MORTALITY Bariatric surgery, mainly sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and gastric bypass (GBP) in France, induces a greater and more durable weight loss than current treatments in cases of morbid or severe obesity with co-morbidity. Bariatric surgery can also improve, or even put into remission, most of the pathologies associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia... An improvement in the quality of life and life expectancy of patients after bariatric surgery has been observed, even considering the operative risk and the discomfort generated by these procedures. The differences in efficacy, risk and discomfort at short and long term between SG and GPB do not allow to define a procedure of choice at the present time. The great effectiveness of bariatric surgery on diabetes associated with obesity, corresponding to the metabolic surgery concept, will probably lead to an extension of the operative indications.
