Patients usually offered a professional preoperative consultation and objective information regarding the bariatric surgery type and the advantages and disadvantages of each type for best outcome and satisfaction.

The number of patients who had pre-operative recommendation = 37 (68.5%). Out of these, only 15 patients choose the surgical team recommended surgery; -value 0.183, odds ratio 2.22, (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.6-8.12).
