| Bariatric surgery is a treatment method that is considered for adult patients who have a BMI over 35kg/m^2 with severe comorbid diseases such as life-threatening cardiopulmonary problems, severe sleep apnea, or severe diabetes mellitus, or for those in the severely obese category with a BMI greater than 40 kg/m2. For teenagers, the Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Management and Prevention of Obesity in Adults and Children recommends that bariatric surgery be limited to an appropriately trained and experienced surgical team. After 6 months of using lifestyle modifications, healthcare practitioners assess the health of the patient and evaluate whether a satisfactory progress of weight loss or goal of 10% of body weight has been reached. In the case that satisfactory progress or goal has not been achieved, physicians will consider the eligibility of patients to undergo bariatric surgery. This is only considered if other nonsurgical weight loss attempts have failed. The goal of bariatric surgery is to relieve a patient suffering from obesity from his or her morbid body weight, improve their comorbidity and improve their quality of life. There are different surgical procedures (Figure 13). It is important to note that this treatment option requires lifelong medical surveillance <sup>[26]</sup>. | Bariatric surgery is a treatment method that is considered for adult patients who have a BMI over 35kg/m^2 with severe comorbid diseases such as life-threatening cardiopulmonary problems, severe sleep apnea, or severe diabetes mellitus, or for those in the severely obese category with a BMI greater than 40 kg/m2.

| A study on obese Swedish patients investigated the conventional, nonsurgical management with surgery for morbid obesity in 2004 found that surgical management is more efficacious than medical management. Patients who received surgical treatment produced greater weight loss, improved lifestyle and dramatic improvement of comorbid disease. At 10 years of follow-up, the surgical cohort showed that they maintained a weight loss greater than 16.1% of their original body weight. In contrast, those who received the conventional, nonsurgical management had a weight gain of 1.6%. This 16.3% weight difference demonstrates the effectiveness and maintenance of surgical procedures <sup>[47]</sup>. | A study on obese Swedish patients investigated the conventional, nonsurgical management with surgery for morbid obesity in 2004 found that surgical management is more efficacious than medical management.
