No association between history of psychiatric treatment and postoperative weight reduction after bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery appears to be an effective obesity care for people treated for mental disorders.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III Evidence obtained from cohort or case-control analytic studies.PMID:38489068 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-024-01645-9
