Randomized trials have established the efficacy of bariatric surgery towards sustained weight loss, along with significant improvements in related comorbidities, quality of life measures, and all-cause mortality. This compilation discusses the indications and complications of bariatric surgery as well as several other topics that include omentectomy, post surgery atrial fibrillation, blood transfusions, and others.
