Abstract

Currently, more than 36% of adults and 17% of youth in the United States [1] are considered obese with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30.0kg/m2. Typically, behavior modification of dietary and physical activity habits is the first line of treatment for obesity. However, the success of this therapy is marginal at best with only a limited number of individuals achieving and sustaining clinically meaningful weight loss of 5-10% after 6-months of treatment. Bariatric surgery is considered the most effective weight loss treatment of severe obesity [2–9] as well as in the treatment and prevention of obesity-related comorbidities [3,10-13].
