Defining the Problem
The Problem
• Prevalence of obesity in U.S. increased from 12%
to 21% between 1991 and 2001 = 15 million
people
• Obesity is the 2nd most common cause of death
from a modifiable behavioral risk factor
• 111,909 excess deaths annually

Weight Maintenance after Bariatric Surgery
Sjöström L, Lindroos AK, Peltonen M et al. N Engl J Med. 2004;351:26
Conclusions
• Bariatric surgery is an effective means to
achieve clinically significant, permanent
weight loss with low rates of complications.
• Bariatric surgery results in significant
improvement in health risks associated with
obesity.
• Surgical weight loss increases life-span.
• Surgical therapy is cost-effective.
