American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery 2022 estimate of metabolic and bariatric procedures performed in the United States
Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), despite being the most effective durable treatment for obesity, remains underused as approximately 1% of all patients who qualify, undergo surgery. The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery established a Numbers Taskforce to specify annual rate of obesity treatment interventions utilization and to determine if patients in need are receiving appropriate treatment.

Sex- and operation-dependent effects on 5-year weight loss results of bariatric surgery
Weight loss response after bariatric surgery is highly variable, and several demographic factors are associated with differential responses to surgery. Preclinical studies demonstrate numerous sex-specific responses to bariatric surgery, but whether these responses are also operation dependent is unknown.

Comment on: Prognostic factors in resolution of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease post bariatric surgery in adolescents
Obesity among children is a concerning health problem in the United States, leading to an array of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 14.7 million children are impacted by obesity (19.7% prevalence, 2017 –2020) [1]. The development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), characterized by excess intrahepatic storage of lipids (triglyceride), has been linked to obesity. NAFLD is the most common cause of chronic liver disease, which can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis ( NASH), cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma [2,3]. (Sourc...

Comment on: Trends in Bariatric Surgery Training: Bariatric Operations performed by fellowship council trainees from 2012 to 2019.
Bariatric surgery (BS), when performed in specialized centers by skilled surgeons, is associated with minimal morbidity [1]. In accordance with the graduation criteria outlined by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), successful BS training mandates the completion of at least 100 bariatric cases, including 50 anastomotic, 10 restrictive, and 5 revisional procedures [1]. Nevertheless, the dynamic landscape of bariatric surgery, marked by the increasing popularity of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and the growing use of robotic surgery [2], coupled with the diminishing frequency of anastomotic procedures...

Cognitive function 10 years after adolescent bariatric surgery
Adolescent bariatric surgery produces substantial weight loss and reduction of medical comorbidities. Research in adult samples shows improved cognitive function post-operatively, though much less is known about the potential cognitive benefits of bariatric surgery in adolescents – especially at extended follow-up.
