Abstract

The global epidemic of obesity has become a significant health concern, associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Over the span of four decades, from 1975 to 2016, the prevalence of obesity worldwide has nearly tripled [1]. Despite efforts through lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy, achieving sustained weight loss remains a challenge for most individuals. Bariatric surgery stands out as a proven, long-term solution for weight loss, particularly in patients with class III and class II obesity-related comorbidities. However, this surgical intervention, while effective, is irreversible and carries inherent risks. Compounding the issue, less than 1-2% of eligible patients ultimately undergo bariatric surgery [2-4].
