| pubmed:abstractText |
Surgery is becoming an increasingly common method for treatment of morbid obesity in the United States. This text includes the presentation of a typical morbidly obese man with a number of obesity related comorbidities who was treated with a modification of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Subsequently, the gastrointestinal operations currently in use as treatment for morbid obesity are discussed. Preoperative and postoperative care for this patient population is discussed briefly. The results of the various procedures are also discussed in terms of both complications and improvement of medical comorbidities.
