“…Space and time prohibit a detailed review of this topic. Important prelaparoscopic events included the ill-fated jejunoileal bypass, popularized in the 1970s and then found to produce severe complications, including a 2% incidence of irreversible liver failure [3,4]. This operation dealt the field of bariatric surgery a severe setback.…”

Laparoscopy has meant profound changes for the field of bariatric surgery. Bariatric operations, which are technically difficult because of the patient population, were not performed laparoscopically until the last 5 years of the 20th century. The years 1998 to 2003, herein defined as the Bariatric Revolution, saw profound changes in the way bariartric surgery was practiced. Major changes in patient education, public awareness, patient enthusiasm, popularity of the surgery, and academic acceptance of bariatric surgery occurred during this time. This led to such a massive increase in procedures performed that there was a reactionary movement by insurers to deny coverage for these procedures. Limitation of access to care and other important socioeconomic issues are now being debated and confronted in the bariatric arena. Recommendations for the field are suggested. The outcomes of these controversies will potentially have a profound impact on all of surgery.

“…Fixation of the jaws as a method of initiating weight loss has proved effective in several studies (1)(2)(3)(4). The reason for introducing this procedure as a treatment method was mainly the discouraging results of conventional obesity treatment and also the disadvantages that encumber surgical treatment of severe obesity such as incapacitating side effects and a certain mortality (5)(6)(7).…”

Forty-five severely obese patients were treated with jaw fixation as a means of initiating weight loss. Patients who reported eating for consolation showed significantly greater difficulties in maintaining the achieved weight loss than the others. This finding constitutes further evidence of a relationship between obesity and depression. Low capacity to experience feelings of aggressiveness also seems to be linked to poor treatment results.
