Comment on: Bariatric surgery in patients with previous COVID-19 infection

We read with great interest the interesting and timely paper by Nedelcu et  al. [1]. Although we share the authors’ conclusions, a 4-week interval between a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and bariatric surgery is probably not safe. Herein, we report 2 cases of unexpected and asymptomatic pulmonary abnormalities discovered during the preoperative assessmen t of patients with recent infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
