Surgical weight loss is the most effective treatment of morbid obesity. Bariatric surgery has a multitude of effects, including improving or resolving obstructive sleep apnea, improving glucose metabolism, decreasing the risk of heart disease, and improving the quality of life. Careful patient selection and preparation combined with the attention to the appropriate procedure selection is essential in the success of bariatric surgery. The risk profile of each patient has to be weighed with the risks and benefits of each type of bariatric surgery. In summary, bariatric surgery should be highly considered for patients to improve comorbidities and quality of life.
