Abstract
The reason for this inquiry was to assess the actual state of Bariatric Surgery in Germany, especially relating to the much discussed economic aspect. A questionnaire was sent to those hospitals in Germany in which we knew that obesity surgery was performed, concerning the year 1997. To our regret, the feedback was only 37%, although this must be considered an adequate response for Germany. Nevertheless, some interesting trends are easily seen. Bariatric Surgery in Germany could pay for itself by saving the costs associated with conservative therapy and preventing co-morbidities in patients with morbid obesity.
