Abstract | ||||
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic disease and a major risk for comorbidities such as Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM2), arterial hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, pulmonary disease, and different cancers. The age of onset of obesity (AOO) varies greatly, and can occur in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. Obesity is already associated with greater morbidity and poorer health-related quality of life than smoking, problem drinking or poverty. In contrast to conservative treatments, bariatric surgery has provided a means of treating the morbidly obese successfully, with sustained weight loss. Weight loss results in amelioration or cure of the co-morbidities. In addition, after bariatric surgery, most patients report improvement in psychosocial functioning and quality of life. In recent years, the demand for bariatric surgery had dramatically increased, because its benefits have become widely recognized. The aim of this study is to evaluate the predicting factors and their impact to detect success rates of bariatric surgeries. | ||||
