There’s a need to understand special challenges. Weight loss patients, particularly those who have chosen bariatric surgery, may have health considerations that must be taken into account when planning surgery.

This chapter discusses body contouring surgery after massive weight loss narrated through the five most cited landmark papers in the literature. Each of the selected articles had a unique impact on the anatomy, classification, presentation, and clinical approach to post-bariatric patients. Other ...
Body lifting should never be thought of as a weight loss surgery. That said, since excess skin (and sometimes small quantities of fat tissue) is removed during the procedure, body lift patients will generally notice a relatively minor decrease in overall weight. This is particularly true for in...
Post-bariatric, body contouring surgery to treat the sequelae of massive weight loss is an undervalued topic by patients and in most of the literature. The objective of this study was to determine the mean cost per patient of this treatment in a public morbid obesity unit, and compare it wit...

Post-bariatric surgery body contouring treatment in the public health system: cost study and perception by patients. Post-bariatric, body contouring surgery to treat the sequelae of massive weight loss is an undervalued topic by patients and in most of the literature. The... Jordi,Vilà,J María...
Background A wide ly accepted method for estimating weight loss following gastric bypass surgery is percent of excess body mass index (BMI) loss (%EBL). Because the amount of excess body weight is higher in patients with higher BMIs, the %EBL during the postoperative period is commonly lower...
Adherence to an evidence-based dietary intervention is the most important predictor of weight loss. Therefore the best evidence-based dietary intervention is the one that a client makes an educated choice to adhere to.
