Obesity has become one of the most important health problems in our society
The part evaluating the postoperative evolution is divided into two sections: weight loss evaluated as the percent excess weight loss (%Excess Weight Loss (EWL)) and the resolution of comorbidities
Of patients suffered from DM2 (n=48); 40.8% from high blood pressure (HBP) (n=62); 35.5% from dyslipidemia (n= 54); 19.7% from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (n=30); 11,8% from arthropathy (n= 18) and 4.6% patients (n=7) had suffered a cardiovascular event
