Abstract
Obesity is the world's most dangerous and rapidly growing health problem. Treating people living with obesity is not limited to the weight loss process. They should also be followed up with a multidisciplinary approach to maintain the weight loss achieved. There is a lack of structural and functional standardization in obesity centers that undertake medical and surgical treatment. This consensus report, prepared by professional organizations for treating obesity, aims to ensure that all obesity centers can perform standard patient management using evidence-based workflow diagrams. The report covers all the steps, starting from the initial evaluation process. It describes how to make treatment decisions jointly, defines the responsibilities of obesity councils, and designates the follow-up procedures of medically or surgically treated patients. The consensus report underlines that all healthcare professionals treating obesity are complementary. No discipline can achieve absolute success in treating people with obesity on its own. It is mandatory to implement a sustainable and practical collaboration based on current scientific evidence in treating and following up individuals with obesity.
