Proposed Definitions and Clinical Recommendations for the Management of Weight Recurrence, Partial Response, and Nonresponse Following Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
We propose standardized definitions for WR, partial response, and nonresponse after MBS, along with tailored management algorithms. These recommendations aim to support a unified clinical approach and facilitate research in this complex and evolving area of bariatric care.
