“…Current literature, as reviewed by Peterson K et al, runs contrary to this investigation's finding of there being no difference in % EWL between different types of bariatric surgery in the super morbidly obese population [15]. This may indicate a difference in response to bariatric surgery for patients in Bahrain compared to other countries, however a more likely explanation may be an insufficient number of patients in each bariatric surgery group of our study, with only 23 in the OAGB group, 16 in BPD, and 13 in SGTLB.…”

“…Individuals with BMI ≥50 not only have more complex health issues, but also have higher risk for post-surgical complications after weight loss surgery. 3 Like many large health systems trying to address the obesity epidemic, the VA healthcare system offers three primary weight management interventions: (1) the MOVE! Weight Management Program, a system-wide behavior counseling program aimed at increasing physical activity and promoting healthy eating, (2) weight loss medications, and (3) bariatric surgery.…”

“…Obesity is further categorised into three classes: Class 1 obesity (obesity) is defined as BMI 30.0–34.9 kg/m 2 ; Class 2 obesity (severe obesity; Cawley, ) is defined as BMI 35.0–39.9 kg/m 2 ; and Class 3 obesity is defined as BMI ≥ 40.0 kg/m 2 (Keating et al, ; WHO, ). Clinical literature also describes a fourth class of obesity that is categorised as “superobesity” defined as a BMI of ≥50.0 kg/m 2 (Gould, Garren, Boll, & Starling, ; Peterson, Anderson, Boundy, Ferguson, & Erickson, ).…”
