ASMBS Statement on Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery for Beneficiaries of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) with a Review of the Literature
Metabolic and Bariatric surgery (MBS) was first offered to the public in the 1960s. The introduction of laparoscopy in the late 1990 ’s revolutionized the field with a significant increase in the number of MBS procedures. The rapid growth of MBS led to more scrutiny regarding the outcomes of MBS especially in CMS Medicare beneficiaries.1-3 In November 2005, the Centers for Medicare& Medicaid services (CMS) considered a proposal to end coverage for MBS for Medicare beneficiaries>65 years of age due to safety concerns and increased surgical risk.

Comment on: Bariatric surgery protects against Barrett ’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma: a national database study
I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the article titled, “Bariatric surgery protects against Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma: a national database study,” by Hurtado et al. [1]. I congratulate the authors for their interest in analyzing and discussing this topic and for the enormous effort that this study demands. The authors concl ude that bariatric surgery decreases the risk of developing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett esophagus (BE). It is known that patients with obesity have more severe esophagitis and BE than average patients and that sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and lapar...

Comment on: Insulin resistance levels predicted metabolic improvement and weight loss after metabolic surgery in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes
This study revealed that insulin resistance levels were predictive of metabolic impr ovement and weight loss 1 year after metabolic surgery in Chinese patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes exhibiting a body mass index range of 25–32.5 kg/m2. We wish to provide some observations on the present status of this procedure in Latin American nations with a specific focus on Colombia. (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases)

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and its role in the treatment of obesity: a  systematic review
Obesity rates nearly tripled from 1975 to 2016 across the globe [1]. As obesity rates have increased, so have obesity-related co-morbidities such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, liver and kidney disease, and cancer [2 –4]. To date, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) remains the most effective treatment modality for patients with severe obesity [5], with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) being the most prevalent bariatric procedure performed worldwide [6].
