Abstract

The obesity epidemic among adults in the USA is well established. National data reveals significant growth of clinically severe obesity over the past several decades. Given the complexity of obesity as a disease, a multidisciplinary team approach to evaluation and treatment to include dietary, behavioral, medical, and surgical components is considered mandatory, as is the long-term postoperative follow-up and evaluation of the patient to ensure safety and provide ongoing support. There are several standard and well-studied metabolic surgery procedures currently performed in the USA. These include the adjustable gastric band, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and duodenal switch. There are also several novel procedures that are early in their development in other countries. Future research will determine which will become standard techniques in years to come.
