Purpose: The objective of this study was to survey potential candidates for bariatric/metabolic surgery for procedure preferences.
Methods: Questions asked were divided into 5 categories: (1) demographic and anthropometric data, comorbidities, and favored surgery; (2) awareness of safety, effectiveness, and complications of each type of surgery; (3) discordances in opinion between self-selected and medically recommended procedures; and (4, 5) reasons for/against particular surgery.
Results: From 1 October to 15 November 2018, 104 respondents adequately responded and were included in the analysis. The number (%) of female respondents was 79 (76.0%). The number (%) of respondents by decade was 17 (16.3%) in their 20s, 65 (62.5%) in their 30s, 19 (18.3%) in their 40s, and 3 (2.9%) in their 60s, respectively. Mean body mass index was 37.1 ± 6.3 kg/m. Comorbidities were type 2 diabetes in 34 (32.7%) and hypertension in 35 (33.7%). The most favored procedure was sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in 78 (75.0%), adjustable gastric band (AGB) surgery in 12 (11.5%), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in 6 (5.8%), and gastric plication (GP) in 8 (7.7%). Major reasons for choosing procedures were; "adjustable" for AGB, "stomach sparing" for GP, "excellent weight loss" for SG, and "comorbidity resolution" in RYGB.
Conclusion: Candidates for bariatric/metabolic surgery favored SG followed by AGB, GP, and RYGB, and their choices were compatible with current evidence-based clinical practice.

Obesity is a worldwide chronic, complex, and progressive disease that poses a challenge for physicians to pursue optimal therapeutic decision making. This chapter focuses on the definition of obesity, based on excessive fat accumulation, and thus underscores the importance of body composition, and the clinical tools used to diagnose it in the context of excess weight, metabolic alteration, and obesity-associated comorbidity development. Additionally, it addresses the indications for surgery that are currently applicable and the description of the different types of patients who could benefit the most from the surgical management of excessive body fat and its associated metabolic derangements and quality of life improvement.

Obesity is a complex disease process, which often requires multifactorial, patient-tailored strategies for effective management. Treatment options include lifestyle optimization, pharmacotherapy, endobariatrics, and bariatric metabolic endoscopy. Obesity-based interventions can be challenging in patient populations with severe obesity, particularly post-gastric bypass.

Bulimia, which means a person has episodes of eating a very large amount of food (bingeing) during which the person feels a loss of control over their eating, is the most primitive reason for being overweight and obese. The extended literature has indicated that childhood emotional abuse has a close relationship with adverse mood states, bulimia, and obesity. To comprehensively understand the potential links among these factors, we evaluated a multiple mediation model in which anxiety/depression and bulimia were mediators between childhood emotional abuse and body mass index (BMI).

Background: Less than 50% of eligible candidates who are referred complete Bariatric Metabolic Surgery (BMS). The factors influencing the decision to complete BMS, particularly how these factors vary across different racial and ethnic groups, remain largely unexplored.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included adult patients referred to a bariatric surgeon or obesity medicine program between July 2019-September 2022.
