Resumen:
Obesity is a highly prevalent disease worldwide, and one in which
gastroenterologists can play an important rote. Some digestive diseases
are more common in obese patients, and preoperative evaluation may be
required in some cases. Additionally, bariatric surgery can lead to
digestive complications in the short and long term that require
intervention, and endoscopic treatment can be an important factor in
weight loss. The aim of this review is to highlight the role of the
gastroenterologist in the management of obese patients who are either
scheduled for or have undergone surgical or endoscopic treatment for
obesity. (C) 2016 Elsevier Espana, S.L.U., AEEH y AEG. All rights
