INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery encompasses a variety of surgical weight loss procedures used to treat morbid obesity. Obesity is clinically expressed in terms of BMI or Quetelet’s index1, which is derived by dividing weight by the square of height to estimate the degree of obesity. Thus, BMI = body weight (kg)/height2 (m2). Morbid obesity is a BMI more than 35 kg/m2, and super morbid obesity is BMI more than 55 kg/ m2.
