Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery
The definition of success and failure of a bariatric procedure should include weight loss as well as improvement of comorbidity and quality-of-life (QoL) assessment. QoL measures changes in physical, functional, mental, and social health in order to evaluate benefits of new programs and interventions.
