While bariatric procedures continued to evolve and develop since the 1950s, their classification has not matched this evolution. The procedures are commonly classified into restrictive, malabsorptive, or combined. In this day and age, we recognize different mechanisms of action of the bariatric procedures. This article aims to review and update the old classifications based on our current understanding of the hormonal aspects of the various bariatric procedures and the role of gut hormones in weight loss and treatment of the associated metabolic comorbidities. The article suggests the need for a new classification of the bariatric procedures, based on the mechanism of action, involving the hormonal aspects of the procedure.

Purpose Of Review: Eating behaviour-focused interventions are essential for improving health and weight-related outcomes in patients undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). This work aims to examine the content of eating behaviour-focused weight management interventions adjunct to MBS in terms of the type and quantity of behaviour change techniques (BCTs). A literature search retrieved randomised controlled and parallel group trials up to March 2024.

Introduction: The global prevalence of obesity and its associated comorbidities is rising, with bariatric surgery emerging as a highly efficacious intervention for obese patients. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication following bariatric surgery, with a standardised protocol for its prevention and management yet to be established. This study aims to determine the incidence and the influencing factors of PONV following various types of bariatric surgeries, thereby facilitating the targeted prevention strategies.
