Abstract: Approach to obesity management includes lifestyle changes, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery when indicated. Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective tools for achieving clinically significant weight reduction, with different procedures leading to varying degree of weight loss. Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective option for those who do not achieve durable weight loss with non - surgical methods. There is a potential role of pharmacotherapy in combination with bariatric surgery to prevent weight recurrence.
