Abstract

Morbid obesity (MO) is a serious disease caused by genetic and environmental factors, which is associated with multiple comorbid factors that impact very significantly on the amount and life quality. Obesity surgery is a complex surgery but not without complications, which objective is to achieve an ideal weight or cure obesity reducing comorbidities and improving the welfare of patients. The Spanish Society for the Study of Obesity (SEED) and the Spanish Society of Obesity Surgery (SECO) have developed a consensus document that allows the various professionals involved in the treatment of OM practical guidance in developing their own protocols in their work environment. In this context, the general and digestive service of the HUB team developed the clinical course of this surgical procedure because it is a tool that facilitates systematic care and multidisciplinary group of patients with a predictable clinical course, such as whether morbidly obese patients operated by laparotomy or laparoscopy.
