Selecting Candidates

The decision for bariatric surgery depends not only on weight but also on metabolic disease, prior attempts and psychosocial readiness.

Multidisciplinary review is the basis of choosing the right procedure.

Preparation

Nutrition, smoking cessation, exercise planning and optimisation of comorbidities should happen before surgery.

This preparation directly affects complication risk.

Long-Term Success

True success is measured not only by weight loss but also by diabetes, hypertension and quality-of-life outcomes.

Staying in follow-up and maintaining behavioural change are as important as the operation itself.
