Obesity Surgery is a premier interdisciplinary and international forum for the dissemination of research and clinical knowledge on all aspects of bariatric/metabolic surgery.
This is a transformative journal, you may have access to funding.
The ASMBS/IFSO Guidelines now recommend metabolic and bariatric surgery for individuals with a BMI of 35 or more “regardless of presence, absence, or severity of obesity-related conditions” and that it be considered for people with a BMI 30-34.9 and metabolic disease and in “appropriately selected children and adolescents.”
Obesity is a complex medical condition and is influenced by several factors. Most of them are biological, beyond full personal control. The media, public, and even healthcare providers, including doctors, focus overwhelmingly on the contribution of individual choices and responsibility. We need to sum all efforts to eliminate weight stigmatization.
