Obesity, a growing global epidemic, poses a significant threat to public health, negatively affecting quality of life, and increasing the risk of several chronic diseases (1). In this scenario, bariatric surgery (BS) has emerged as the most effective intervention for the management of severe obesity, providing metabolic benefits and reducing comorbidities (2). With an increasing number of surgeries performed each year, there is a need to develop a multidisciplinary approach, integrating psychological support, nutritional management, and continuous monitoring to optimize outcomes. The journey of patients scheduled for BS should be optimized with personalized and standardized pre-, intra-, and postoperative pathways that encompass these multidisciplinary supports, to ensure the best outcomes after surgery. During this special Frontiers in Nutrition Research Topic, we had several submissions pertaining to the Journey Through BS that we'd like to highlight.

Abstract

Obesity, a growing global epidemic, poses a significant threat to public health, negatively affecting quality of life, and increasing the risk of several chronic diseases (1). In this scenario, bariatric surgery (BS) has emerged as the most effective intervention for the management of severe obesity, providing metabolic benefits and reducing comorbidities (2). With an increasing number of surgeries performed each year, there is a need to develop a multidisciplinary approach, integrating psychological support, nutritional management, and continuous monitoring to optimize outcomes. The journey of patients scheduled for BS should be optimized with personalized and standardized pre-, intra-, and postoperative pathways that encompass these multidisciplinary supports, to ensure the best outcomes after surgery. During this special Frontiers in Nutrition Research Topic, we had several submissions pertaining to the Journey Through BS that we'd like to highlight.
