Analysis of morbid obese diabetic and non-diabetic patients: clinical and social characteristics, habits and workup to undergo bariatric surgery in Lombardy, Italy
Patients seeking bariatric surgery have a valid and well structured idea of obesity and are aware of the importance of eating less and physical activity in managing obesity, with differences linked to their educational levels. The interaction between physicians and surgeons improved the overall prognosis of patients seeking BS, based on screening of CV risk factors. Improved patients long term follow-up after surgery, identification of the suitable pre-BS diets, as well and identification of patients who might benefit from non-BS approaches, such as newer medical therapies could improve long term care of obesity.
