Classification and Treatment Protocol of Post-bariatric Patients: An Anamnestic and Psychiatric Profiling.

Introduction: Post-bariatric surgery is one of the fastest-growing subspecialties in plastic surgery. The increase in the number of surgical procedures has not been followed by an equivalent categorization of patients. Surgical innovations and technical refinements are widespread, while clear classification and objectification of surgical indications are lacking.
