Abstract
Bariatric surgery as a treatment for severe obesity has increased dramatically over the past two decades, but there have been few high-quality, long-term studies comparing the outcomes of different procedures. Prior studies have not been sufficiently large to examine differences in outcomes across important patient subgroups, including older adults (>=65 years of age) and racial/ethnic minorities. Bariatric surgery outcomes research is limited and consists of studies with limited follow-up duration. More studies are needed in larger, broadly representative samples to help inform patient and provider decisions about the optimal choice of bariatric surgical procedure in various populations.
