Abstract
Nearly all morbidly obese patients with satisfactory postoperative weight loss experience substantial improvement in the quality of their lives. Improved health status is characterized by increased exercise tolerance and improvement or resolution of obesity-related comorbidities. Improvement of obesity-related medical problems (discussed in the article by Klein elsewhere in this issue) is a primary goal of gastric bypass. The patient's ability to interact with others in social situations is also enhanced. At present, RYGB may be the only bariatric operation that has produced durable long-term weight loss at an acceptable level of risk.
