Metabolic and bariatric surgery aims to achieve long-term weight loss with improvement of obesity-related diseases and quality of life, without negatively affecting daily life. Despite limited food intake, an individual who has undergone this type of surgery should in principle be able to eat any food and not suffer from gastrointestinal problems or nutritional deficiencies. In cases of advanced obesity (BMI ≥35 kg/m2), we believe that bariatric surgery is the first-line treatment for individuals from 18 years of age. The type of procedure should be chosen in consultation with the patient, and gastric bypass has been recommended for individuals with type 2 diabetes or a BMI ≥35 kg/m2 for many years in Sweden. Individuals who have undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery need daily nutritional supplements and should be monitored throughout their lives. Long-term results are good with lasting weight loss and improvement in obesity-related diseases and physical quality of life. Recurrent weight gain and other issues should be managed in multidisciplinary teams. Swedish metabolic and bariatric surgery is generally well developed and of high quality.
