Geriatric Bariatric Surgery: Outcomes at a Single Institution.

Obesity, especially in those over the age of 65, is associated with multiple comorbidities and decreased quality of life. Bariatric surgery is an effective method of weight loss and management of comorbidities and is increasingly utilized in younger and middle-aged populations. A retrospective review was performed of patients ≥65 years old who underwent bariatric surgery between 2018 and 2021 at a single institution to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bariatric surgery in older populations.
